CMUCam2 GUI, modified for FIRST
After getting completely frustrated with the LabView CMUCam application, our team downloaded the CMUCam2 GUI Java application from the CMUCam site.

We modified the Java source code to add controls for all the parameters in the LabView app (which is essentially all the parameters in Kevin's camera code).

We found the Java app to be much easier to use, faster, and more reliable than the LabView app.

My question -- how many other teams out there would find this application useful, for the remainder of the season?

If there is enough interest, we'd publish the modified source and binaries.

Our current version does not have a way to save/restore parameters -- they always go back to the defaults. This can be somewhat frustrating since you have to retype in your base parameters before doing any tweaking. This is the primary thing I'd fix prior to making it available to other teams. But I'll only work on it if I get positive interest from a number of teams.
