Finding green/pink flags

[fordchrist675]

My friends and I are trying to get the Axis Camera to find the green/pink flags, but we are having a problem getting the camera to recognize anything and it didn't say it failed to recognize the camera, so what could help make it work?

The camera is just not working all together, but it is connected and on so we are in a jam. any Ideas?

Did you run the Camera Configuration Utility? Are you using the orange CAT-5 cable? Are you using the example? Does it work connected to your PC?

There will be example code posted soon that will do the detection of the two color targets. The code will be able to differentiate between the red and blue alliances.

Alright thanks very much for the help

Actually it is still not working we used the CAT-5 and still are getting no feedback.

So the programmer and I are at a loss. also the utility isn't working so any ideas what to do?

Hey all-

I'm running WindRiver, and I'm running the SimpleTracker example code. I've used the NI Vision Assistant to get color values for my green vision target, and put those into the WindRiver code.

        tdata = GetTrackingData(GREEN, FLUORESCENT);
        tdata.luminance.maxValue = 187;
        tdata.luminance.minValue = 103;
        tdata.hue.minValue = 71;
        tdata.hue.maxValue = 98;
        tdata.saturation.minValue = 56;
        tdata.saturation.maxValue = 111;

I'm getting terminal feedback from the CRIO (finally...but that's another story), but the camera is failing to find any blobs matching the numbers that were obtained using the Vision Assistant.

Help, please?

Have you updated all the firmware? Are you using all the most current software?
