[Tottanka]

i need to know in mplab, if i see 2 ligts or 1 light.
therfore, i need to have the size of the light that the camers has, if its too high, i know it is 2 lights.
how can i get an input of light size to mplab?
thanks, a nooby programmer.

It depends on the code you are using, but I know in EasyC last year the camera saw two lights as one very large light, and you needed a maximum light size to tell the robot that those lights are actually two.

I can't remember exactly what the maximum light size was though, sorry.

I just need to know waht are the names of the x poins as the light is seen...
Does anyone know if they are T_Packet_Data.x1 and T_Packet_Data.x2?

All the data that the camera returns get stored in this structure from camera.h

// camera t packet data structure
typedef struct
{
    unsigned char mx;
    unsigned char my;
    unsigned char x1;
    unsigned char y1;
    unsigned char x2;
    unsigned char y2;
    unsigned char pixels;
    unsigned char confidence;
}    T_Packet_Data_Type;

So yes its T_Packet_Data.x1 and T_Packet_Data.x2

Look in 'camera.h' around line 140, it has explanations of what the variables mean.
