TrackerDemoProject

[Garten Haeska]

Hello,
I was wanting to try to use the trackers on a mock up robot for this year and when ever i try to look at the Project(click on the link to it in netbeans). It always says "Message

Project:
C:\Users\Developer\Demos\CodeSamples\TrackerDemoPr oject not found!

Any ideas i cant seem to open any of the Sample Projects.

The tracker demo project is for the camera

The "Line Tracker Project" is for the line trackers

line tracker only has one class:

/**
* Sample line tracking class for FIRST 2011 Competition
* Jumpers on driver station digital I/O pins select the operating mode:
* The Driver Station digital input 1 select whether the code tracks the straight
* line or the forked line. Driver station digital input 2 selects whether the
* code takes the left or right fork. You can set these inputs using jumpers on
* the USB I/O module or in the driver station I/O Configuration pane (if there
* is no Digital I/O module installed.
*
* Since there is the fork to contend with, the code tracks the edge of the line
* using a technique similar to that used with a single-sensor Lego robot.
*
* This code worked on a simple bot built from the 2011 kit chassis and weighted
* to behave similarly to complete robot complete with scoring mechanisms. Your
* own robot will likely be geared differently, the CG will be different, the
* wheels may be different - so expect to tune the program for your own robot
* configuration. The two places to do tuning are:
*
* defaultSteeringGain - this is the amount of turning correction applied
* forkProfile & straightProfile - these are power profiles applied at various
* times (one power setting / second of travel) as the robot moves towards
* the wall.
*
* In addition: this program uses dead reckoning - that is it drives at various
* power settings so it will slow down and stop at the end of the line. This is
* highly dependent on robot weight, wheel choice, and battery voltage. It will
* behave differently on a fully charged vs. partially charged battery.
*
* To overcome these limitations, you should investigate the use of feedback to
* have power/wheel independent control of the program. Examples of feedback
* include using wheel encoders to measure the distance traveled or some kind of
* rangefinder to determine the distance to the wall. With these sensors installed
* your program can know precisely how far from the wall it is, and set the speeds
* accordingly.
