Problems tracking with CMUCam2 in LabVIEW

It seems to me that if I rotated the camera then the up/down would be OK and the left-right would be reversed.

The Camera image appears upside down (rotated 180) in the preview and tracking windows. I've check the assembly instruction and everything checks out OK.

Any ideas why I have the vertical reversal?

Phil,

The power switch should be at the top. If it's not, then the camera is upside down. As for the reversed tracking, there are two jumpers on the camera for reversing the horizontal and vertical tracking directions. Try putting a junper on the vertical one.

Good luck!
