CMU camera 2006

[canadude]

Hi guys, I'm from team 820 - DeltaTech, and we're having a few problems with our 2006 camera, it seems to not be responding when it is tracking colours with the Bells and Whistles program.

We've set up our camera like they say in the manual, and we calibrated with both the Java GUI and LabView.

From the GUI, we can control the servos pretty nicely, and all the features work, like the histogram and everything else. Also, when we track a certain culour given in the guy, the camera responds to it, it tracks the certain culour (although not as smoothly as expected). Even the demo mode seems to work fine.

However our only prblem is when we connect the camera to the board with the TTL, and we let it run by itself with the Bell's and Whistles code. We tell it for what RGB to track, we give the min's and max's for R, G and B, but it just keeps on search/tracking with no response from any culours.

Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know how to print to screen the values of the RGB it sees? Maybe we are not putting in the right max and min rgb in the code for it to track... (although we get the values from the gui)

Thanks
