We had a limelight 2 (i don’t know if it was a + or not) that we got working to a point where we could see camera stream from our laptop and play with settings but no matter how we tuned the limelight wouldn’t detect the tags.
Then that Limelight2 broke and wouldn’t turn on so we got two Limelight 3s which initially turned on then didn’t and then did again (I’m tired of limelight) but we got one on and we are able to tune it and change settings with the browser. The problem is that we applied the April-tag Pipeline and adjusted settings forever, and it is not detecting the April Tags AT ALL. We also ensured the April-Tag we have printed is dark enough, its 16.5 by 16.5 cm^2 from the official CRESCENDO resources. At this point we’re not sure where to turn and how to get this Limelight to detect April-tags. if its helpful at all, the limelight can detect some random things when on other pipelines like retro-reflective and python. We’ve checked documentation, re-flashed the limelight, and seen almost every forum post under the sun.
It sounds like the wrong family is currently selected if you are not detecting april tags at all. If you go to the “standard” tab with the april tag pipeline selected, double check that your tag family is set to “36h11” and size set to “165.1”.
As for the power issue, how are you currently powering the limelight?
Unfortunately we had to close our meeting but I will respond with in depth details of our set up and configuration as soon as I can tommorow. Thank you for reaching out
Similar to JohnFogrty don’t have access to the robot or limelight at this time but I will double check those when I get back. We had looked at this man page a lot and I’m almost certain we were using the AprilTag Classic 36 but part of me wants to say it was 32. That’s something I would have to check tmrw but still I really appreciate your help. I will send config, wiring etc tommorow as soon as I can.
Well I don’t really need to send the settings right now as it started working. And it was KH987’s suggestion to change the apriltag type and size. I thought for certain we had set the correct set but that may have just been in the original limelight 2. Thank you both for your help we really appreciate it.
