Who has the camera working?

If your team has the camera working, could you please post here? It would be greatly appreciated. Our team is curious to know if everyone else is having difficulties as well.

Re: Who has the camera working?

Ours is working perfectly. We did it the "hard way" without Kevin's code.

Post any problems you are having and we will try to answer them!

Camera works fine.

We just have to develop the shooting algorithm based from it now...

Re: Who has the camera working?

we also had problems with the camera, we couldn't make it track green with Kevin's code, so we developed our own code for the camera (tracking and searching).
feel free to download our code here or ask questions about it.
good luck!

Make sure that you have the servos hooked up to the correct PWMs and that you have a (fully charged) backup battery attached to the robot controller.

Re: Who has the camera working?

I got it working! Kevin coded it to tilt the wrong way when it found the target. To fix this go to tracking.c. In the servo track function, find the y-axis/ tilt tracking code. Where it assigns the tilt error, multiply the whoole subtraction problem by -1. THen go down and find the two places where it assigns 1 or -1 to the step in a division erro occurs and reverse them. That should fix the problem.

Re: Who has the camera working?

Or go to tracking.h

// If your camera suddenly moves away from the target once
// it finds it, you'll need to change the sign on one or
// both of these values.
#define PAN_ROTATION_SIGN_DEFAULT +1
#define TILT_ROTATION_SIGN_DEFAULT +1

change the value there. lol It's alot easier

Re: Who has the camera working?

Ours is working but the last time I checked it would follow our faces rather than the green light we had. Probably because the green light was iluminated on our faces but whatever as long as it follows green right?

Re: Who has the camera working?

Our camera works but we're still playing with the code to make it track the way we want it to.
