Camera - how to get out of B&W?

[pgaston]

(The reply that was deleted was almost perfect...)

I'm having trouble getting the camera to return RGB. Basically I find only two places to set RGB deep in the Labview bowels (not sure if U32 or U64 is right - I've tried them both).

Basically the camera will show color for about 5-10 seconds, and then it reverts to grayscale. It may last longer in color if it's pointed at least partially at a bright light. However, the ambient light in the room should be much more than adequate for normal operation.

Can you think of any other thoughts? Documentation on Labview/WPI camera vi's that will move me along?

Thanks!!!



While interesting, documentation on image processing is *not* the issue at this point. Need to get the camera working first...
