To aim your shooting mechanism some sort of feedback is needed which tells you where your "turret" is pointing.

Our programmer set up a Turret_Tracking() function. Inside of that check the joystick button to either assign the joystick x,y values to your turret motors or to map the camera tracking to the turret tracking.

Just use mplab and its text editor. That is the simplest and easiest way.

For wiring and setting up the camera refer to the FAQ at the top of the CMUcam subforum.
When there appears to be something stupid wrong with a game (HPs outscoring robots, unreliable loading, autonomous that accomplishes nothing) I shouldn't complain about it. I should see it as a challenge to exploit! - Chris is me [more]
