we did try to focus it by turning the ring on the lens but it didn't do very much. the focus was very minimal.
as for what's wrong with the program, we're getting an error message with
the config.txt file whenever we upload the system. any thoughts on that? because i don't remember it ever coming up before (obvioulsy becasue it worked the last time, other than it being out of focus) but we don't know what's wrong with the file therefore we dont' know how to fix it.
thanks guys!

Re: Camera "Grab Frame" Problems

well we figured it out. it was really simple too which sorta pissed me off: you need to have the program running before you run power through the camera and the robot controller. also, we were using compressed files; that's what the error message was for.
thank god for genius mentors!
thanks for your input i appreciate it!

I haven't found this to be true. In fact, I always have the camera powered before I start the GUI. I guess it's just peculiar to your situation.

Re: Camera "Grab Frame" Problems

I have always powered up the camera first, but whatever works for you.....
