Hi,
i’ve been working on the camera module 2day, got it all assembled and calibrated.
I’ve noticed that the pins for the servos on the Camera PCB itself are gone,
Yet we still got the Pan/Tilt thingies to assemble, which means we can drive them.
I’ve looked at Kevin’s code from his site, and i saw that the PWM0/1 (or 1/2, don’t remember right now, it’s 04:22 am) is for the Pan/Tilt.
My question is, Is the new code refering to the RC pwm? so I connect the servos cable to the RC PWM0/1 and the code is configured to work?
Another Question,
when i read the workbook for the CMUcam2, it says to download the entire project of the camera (Streamlined) to the RC. my question is, If I want to mix it with my main program, built on the FRC 2007 Default Code, How can I do that? just include camera.h/.c in my project and download and it works? or should i add another files (library and stuff) or is it in a totaly different way?
Thanks alot!
Carmel
first question… yes … hook up ur two servos to ur pwm’s … the tilt i believe is pwm01 and pan is pwm02
secondly download frc_camera_s2.zip… that is the streamlined version … it includes everything u need unlike the “bells and whistles”… it pretty easy… if u have any questions just PM or start a new thread… this year… to use the camera… its good to read camera.c, terminal.c, and tracking.c to get to noe the funtions it provides:)
EDIT: the frc_camera_s2.zip contains everything… user_routines, camera, terminal, everything:)
The headers for the servos are gone, but the solder points and the code are still there.
Other than the removal of headers, the camera is identical to previous years’.
Watch the Q&A for using the camera and servos. They said it was fine last year (without any mention in the manual), but this is a new year. There’s nothing in the Q&A system currently on the topic for 2007.
According to Kevin Watson, the processor having the necessary output pins is no longer available, so the camera board this year does not have the capability of driving servos.
