Hi and welcome to Chief Delphi! Glad to see another fellow Minnesotan around.
Here at CD there is a forum specifically dedicated to the CMUCam which can be found
here.
After browsing through it, it appears
this thread is very similar to what you are asking.
We also have a search function here that can be very helpful. It helps you find answers faster and helps all the excellent helpful people here have less threads to wade through.
If none of that answered your question, feel free to post again in this thread and let us know what is still giving you trouble.
