Exclamation Are you having problems with glare???!?!

just wondering are any other teams having problems where say the camera is picking up bits of glare or something else and reseting the search cycle?
i notice the red light flash for just a tiny second at certain angles and the camera search restarts, this doesn't happen when i put my hand infront of the lens!

Re: Are you having problems with glare???!?!

We had the camera glazing on the top of our hopper but the light will be on the top of it and a little far away so we have nothing to worry about.

Re: Are you having problems with glare???!?!

We were getting this and solved it by changing
if(T_Packet_Data.my != 0)
to
if(T_Packet_Data.confidence > 10)

Good luck,
-Mike

The reason is the camera itself reports other lights in the mx,my values but the confidence value seems to be based only on the green light.
