Re: Autonomous Target Tracking at Regionals

Team 40 also had an extremely difficult time getting the camera to work using a the 2007 camera. The CCD seems to react to the light differently, a good test
would be to fire up Labview and using the same base board grab a screen shot with the 05/06 lens and the 07 lens using the 06 light settings. Chances are you will see the light with the 05/06 lens and you will see nothing with the 07.

Increasing the brightness and ACG Gain to 20 seems to help the 07 lens but unfortunately the cameras lock will still be intermittent unlike last year where a steady lock was achieved. Team 40 ended up going to an ultrasonic sensor to backup the camera for distance and were able to score 3 times (once without the light) once the switch was made.
