Tracking

Mr.Fahrenheit · #1 10-01-2006, 21:27

Well we have been tinkering with the camera and have it finding the light and all that jazz but when we go to track the light with the camera it just pans of to the opposite direction instead of finding the center. We are just using the GUI not running of the FRI. Anyone have any ideas on what is wrong and what to try?

By the way we have everything set up exactly to the specs that were given in the camera packet.

Somewhere in that code (tracking.h maybe?) there is a definition that reverses the servo's direction of travel. This should fix your problem, if you can find the definition.

Would that have an effect on it if we are just running the GUI off of a Laptop and not using the actual Robot Controller?

Eh....Hmmm. Maybe not. I played with that GUI a bit last year, and there may be a similar function in it. But with the RC, it will correct it. Short of putting it on the RC right now, I don't know.
