Re: Fixing Camera "overload"

Devicenull - I'll point that out to the student in charge. Its beginning to sound like he didn't read the manual fully, especially if the page starts with a description of one of the exact problems we were experiencing.

June - We had three separate problems that were compounding each other. We were able to capture frames and see the target but the target was all white in the middle and we couldn't get a good lock on the color. The second was that the camera was fixating on other light sources like the shop window and the overhead fluorescent tubes. The third turned out to be a servo that was installed backwards.

The sunglasses I mentioned in the first post fixed problems 1 and 2, but the third problem was discovered after we realized that the software was giving the correct instructions to track the target, but kept losing it because the signal was sending the camera platform in the opposite direction. Everything is now working, but based on Devicenull's post, I think we'll probably eliminate the need for the sunglasses once my programmer actually reads the manual more thoroughly!

We do appreciate the help and concern -
