Re: T_Packet_Data.mx vs PAN_SERVO

Kevin, I thought I read the documentation, but the doctor said to stick to the caffene-free Mt. Dew, so it must been forgotten.

I think I misunderstood the T packet .mx description (sorry, don't know from where; I just pulled page 57 out for reference): "The middle of mass x value". I guess I placed too much faith that the T packet reveals all.

And I'm not too worried about the software Gods being happy, I have to answer to a higher authority: the teacher in charge of our robotics club!

Denz, our turret shooter rotates, and the camera sits on top of the shooter, so lined up with the centerline of the shooter the camera should be locked on target. Camera too far off target, the turret turns back to target. Unfortunately, camera and turret were way off from each other, not a few degrees, but 10 or more; not a calibration issue. The group in charge of the camera still has calibration to do, but that waits until we have the robot again in Boston.

Roger.
