Camera Problem

Technical Electrical

yeah sorry to bug everyone but we seem to be having a bit of a problem with our camera. It was working fine earlier but today after we got a bit overzealous with clicking on the stop button we froze the java GUI and ended up going with the ctrl alt delete route. Since then the camera does not seem to be detected by the program. Whenever we start the program it says Looking for Camera in the console but unlike before it does not go away and say camera ready. We have also noticed that the LED’s are no longer consistent each time. Sometimes all three are on sometimes only the one green one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure your power source is still above the required voltage. That’s all I can give you in terms of help. It has really solved a lot of problems with our team (checking voltages, that is).

Did you cycle power to the camera? It sounds to me like that may be what you need.

After the big “reset” (power off) if things are still awry, it is possible that the computer serial driver is upset. Uninstall camera software and cycle power, then reinstall. It is possible that there is permanent damage but not likely.
