Re: Camera tracking but not moving

My team has a similar problem as penguain does with the camera tracking.

Our camera has live feed when we run the Two Color Servo Camera Examplev1.vi or the Servo Camera Example.vi However our camera does not track when it is in Camera Display nor Gimbal Track.

For the Two Color Servo Camera Examplev1.vi our camera searches for the colors during Camera Display and the SERVOS can be manually moved when the knobs are turned in the Front Panel. However, when we switch to Gimbal Track, the camera is moving by itself searching for the colors but will never lock onto the specific color. (We have our fabric wrapped around a POOL NOODLE similarly to the trailer pipe.) We tried giving it some range and placed the colors vertically up as if it were on a trailer but the camera is not able to lock on and track it. What is my problem here?

For the Servo Camera Example.vi our camera is able to lock onto the Pink Color and track it according to the Front Panel of the VI. However, the camera does not physically move and the SERVOS are not responding. From browsing through Chief Delphi, I found out that this example needs a Watchdog to be added. My question is, will adding the Watchdog solve my problem or do I have to add/alter anything else? Also, how will I be able to track the Green Color??

Any comments or advice would be appreciated... THANKS!!
