Basically the camera will show color for about 5-10 seconds, and then it reverts to grayscale. It may last longer in color if it's pointed at least partially at a bright light. However, the ambient light in the room should be much more than adequate for normal operation.
Can you think of any other thoughts? Documentation on Labview/WPI camera vi's that will move me along?
Thanks!!!
While interesting, documentation on image processing is *not* the issue at this point. Need to get the camera working first...  |
After reading this description of the problem, I agree that processing is not the issue. I also believe that configuration is not the problem either. My bottom line guess is that the camera is defective.
It may be a simple as a loose connection internally, or it could be a bad solder joint. Regardless, I believe it needs to be swapped out.
