Re: Moving robot while tracking with camera questions...

Success!
We now have the camera tracking from very respectable distances and driving at the same time! At first it didn't work when I inserted the Default_Routine();
statement in between the Getdata(&rxdata); and Putdata(&txdata); statements... because you also have to uncomment the Generate_Pwms(pwm13,pwm14,pwm15,pwm16); before the Putdata(&txdata); command...

So, after a couple of debugging moments, assisted by an upcoming freshman-programming-guru named C.J. got it tracking on the fly!

Next up, autonomous and targeting with our soon to be built shooter.
All the rest of those candles I have burning are still blazing but it is so much more fun when you are able to juggle them and not catch on fire.

I'll keep you updated on the progress...

Thanks for the help and encouragement!
