One of the first issues we tried to solve once we got the parts were to find out exactly what color the green light is in rgb values, reading through the workbook, we’re supposed to use labview 8 student edition with the “cmucam2 demo.llb application.” We have labview 8 installed from the kit, but myabe its just me, but i can’t find the cmucam2 demo application anywhere on the cd’s. Can someone point me in the right direction here?
You should be able to use the default color values in camera.h with the green target.

Another thing related to the code, we’ve successfully downloaded the 2006 default rc code to the RC from the innovation first website and everything worked fine. I then downloading the frc_camera_s and frc_serial_ports zip files from kevin’s site. Upon inspection of the readme’s and the contents of the zip files, i assumed that i can open the mcw files titled “camera” or “serialports” in mblab and compile and that would work, am i correct? i tried doing it that way with the “camera” mcw file but once downloaded to the rc, the terminal kept displaying “Searching…” over and over again. after that, we followed the camera readme file and did the instructions in there with changing the files around the compiled and downloaded that result and it seems to be working fine, but we can’t get the camera to respond to any commands (by calling functions in camera.c). can someone please direct me on what exactly to do with the code just to get the camera working, after its working, i can get it from there (i hope).
The camera code should work out-of-the-box. Unzip frc_camera.zip and load camera.hex into the RC and you should be good to go. What exactly are you trying to accomplish when you were trying to send commands to the camera?
