Go to Post I looked at it and originally thought it was a crazy idea... then I looked at it again and it still sounds like a crazy idea. But crazy ideas tend to produce some excellent results. - Yipyapper [more]

Re: Is anyone using the Camera?

We're having some difficulties with the camera.

It's working, but response time is ridiculously slow (> 0.5 seconds). I'm not quite sure what's causing it. I'm just using the FindColor() function provided in the API, and I even tried to speed that up by allowing multiple calls to use the same image (so that you don't have to get a new image for each call). Still no luck.

The only thing thing that I can think of as the cause is that I'm using a multi-tasking system (the drive train, collector system, and shooter system all have their own tasks, using a buffering system of my design). I don't see how they would be slowing things down to that point, however, as all other tasks have very fast response times ( < 0.05 seconds).

Any ideas what may be the problem?
