Is CMUcam upside down?!? HELP!

People at Labview tell me that Camera is upside down, compared to instruction on how to build the camera mount.

So we flipped it over...

Our Problem:
- Pan works.
- Tilt, searching searching... it finds the light, the little light turns red... (red light than starts blinking) and the mount moves down and starts searching again. Finds the light again and the start all over again.

(does the same thing with -/+ at tilt)

I have a feeling it might be because the camera was not actually upside down. And because of the limits, it goes crazy....

Any ideas?

Re: Is CMUcam upside down?!? HELP!

The camera as in the building guide tells you how to stick it on is turned upside down, because of this, the default code has the values turned upside down when it comes to pan/tilt. In tracking.h find the 1/-1 values, and switch them. That what used to be 1 should be -1, and -1 should be 1. Then you are good to go .

We switched the camara from being upside down to being back upright, and we got an upright image in LabView, this threw the code off though, as it thought it had to move to the left, and not to the right.
