I calibrated the camera and it tracks in the java cmu app and the labview software it won’t track using with the RC. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I was able to track fine the last two years. Does anyone else have this problem?
Please post more details.
Have you installed Kevin Watson’s CMUcam code on the RC? Have your TTL converter connected? Is the camera’s red light on? And what are you seeing in the terminal window of the IFI loader? Is it "error 131"ing? Try power cycling.
Good luck

Sorry for be so vague the first time, the camera is property connected I believe. The camera reaches the searching state, when it pans and tilts and it says it is searching on the terminal window. I believe when it gets this far it means the camera is property connected and has been initiated.
- Make sure that the color values are correct in the code.
- If you are using Kevin’s code, the way the camera is mounted matters. If you mount it with the on-off switch near the top, you have to go and change a few signs in your code or else it will always try to move away from the light instead of centering on it.
I realized what I did wrong. In labview the camera settings were not default(like brightness and color gain), it was from last year. So I just had to adjust the camera settings on the program. Thanks for the help everyone
what setting do we need to change in the code if the power is mounted to the top
what settings do we need to change?? we have tried changeing the tracking.h pan_rotoation_sign_default and that hasnt worked for us yet
