Camera Freaking Out

adodge · #1 25-01-2006, 16:43

My team is setting up the camera to track the target. We loaded the config file "2006 Target.cfg" and hit "Upload config to camera". Shortly afterwards, the camera proceeded to _freak out_. It, seemingly randomly, starts jittering and we cannot get it to respond to the CMUcam2 GUI.

Please help. If you can tell us how to do this, or point us to a resource, it would be appreciated.

Gracias.

We figured it out. Turns out the backup battery had died, leading to the freaking out.

I was going to say that, we had that happen to our camera, said that the camera "caught" epilepsi as it wouldn't stop having seizures. Turned out the charger for the batteries was unpluged the whole time!
