Re: How far have you gotten on coding the camera tracking?

We're still having fun trying to get the response time to be faster, but I believe we've reached the highest efficiency we can get before ship. I tracks like no tomorrow, but when the target is moving we're having trouble leading it... We messed around adding in a PID lead/lag loop, but we're only having moderate to no success with that. Has anyone else gotten it to successfully lead a moving target? Any thoughts on that?

By the way, I'm very impressed with the support the community has on the camera this year! Here's a shout out to all the incredibly helpful NI folks that have provided time and resources to ensuring this season's success with the new system!
