Re: Camera Help

We only download our code to the RC not to the camera. That code in the RC handles setting up the camera.
We can send commands directly to the camera through Labview or a terminal emulation program on your PC to play around, but in competition we'll only be working through the RC code.

Labview cannot be used to test drive the camera servos with this year's model of the camera. It can play with the other camera controls, and help you focus the camera lens.

To run the camera with the servos, then disconnect your PC from the camera and connect the camera instead to the TTL port on the RC.
There are two ways to program your RC 1) MPLAB 2) EasyC.
For MPLAB download Kevin Watson's camera code from http://kevin.org/frc/, specifically start with http://kevin.org/frc/frc_camera_2.zip and use IFI_Loader to download the enclosed hex file to your RC.
For EasyC o to http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/easyCPRO/ for the code and post specific questions about it on this CD sub-forum http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=155
