Problems tracking with CMUCam2 in LabVIEW

Thanks Joe.

I see the problem... The assembly diagrams all show the board with the switch at the bottom, but the connection diagram shows it up the other way.

I hadn't noticed those reversing jumpers. Thanks for the excellent tip.

The power switch should be at the top. If it's not, then the camera is upside down. Try putting a junper on the vertical one.

Good luck!

Phil,

I have a feeling the camera was put in the documentation upside down on purpose to keep you on your toes. Take everything you find with a grain of salt.

Cheers!

Shheeesssshhh! And I thought it was upsiddown to put the lens of the camera on the tilt axis of the pan/tilt mechanism. Shows what I get for making assumptions. I was ready to accept the upside down image as a conditiion of boresight.

(.....mumbling to myself as I turn the camera around in the mount.)

Hmmm... wouldn't that just be 90 degrees off? Happens to the best of us...
