Re: Green light same color as overhead light
We're out on the shop floor as well. Using Kevin's default camera code, and experiencing the exact same thing.

First, let me say "Thanks Kevin!!!!". Without your code, we never would have even touched the camera. (Or the encoders... or the gyro.....) Our lack of dedicated "controls" guys makes things very tough at times.

Anyway - our rack is made out of 2x4's and PVC. The overhead lights are sodiums. Our camera with the default code is picking up the green light, the reflections of the overhead lights off the 2x4's, and the overhead lights as well.

I'm going to spend sometime with labview to see if I can tweak it away from that. It is making our whole team very very nervous. We know the play areas are VERY brightly lit, and with the end plates on the racks being diamond plate - we're worried that we're going to get a lot of very nasty reflections when you're facing the target.
