LEDs on CMUCam

What do each of the three LEDs mean? I've searched all over, but I can't get an answer. Is one green is power and one (red?) is tracking?

Thanks in advance.

Re: LEDs on CMUCam

Green is Power. Red is Tracking. The other I've never seen light up on our camera - perhaps it is for errors/debugging?

Re: LEDs on CMUCam

The third LED is not used in automatic mode and is user controllable. It is actually LED 0 while LED 1 is the red one that indicates tracking.

From CMUcam2_commands.pdf:

L1 boolean \r
L0 boolean \r
These commands enable and disable the two tracking LEDs. A value of 0 will turn the LED off, while a value of 1 will turn it on. A value of 2 (default) will leave the LED in automatic mode. In this mode, LED 1 turns on when the camera confidently detects an object while tracking and provides feedback during a send frame. In automatic mode, LED 0 does nothing, so it can be manually set.
