Camera Motion

Hi guys! I have been trying to get my box robot up and running but cant get past the camera tracking. It just wont follow me or any colors. I have checked with motion control and everything is A O.K! I just find that the videos for helping are dated when it comes to the new software which becomes frustrating and at times over whelming! I must be getting it all wrong with the Script for Command Contrals! But what D.J Sures suggests does not exist anymore on the list! I love Robots and would just like some help! PLEASE! I have the new 16.0 version. Thanks!

Well setting the servo speed has helped with my head servo speed useful tip Rich thanks.

Hooray! I had a eureka moment and now it works great you have to get the min and max servo settings the right way round its too easy to swap them over so to speak and then nothing will work. I have to have my servo inverted box ticked as well. Camera tracking was one of the most important features so I'm pleased to have sorted it at last:)

Thanks DJ Sures. I did try all of the marked question marks next to the options. I just don't know if i have to right servo speed. Do i have to put a ControlCommand code? On the video Sures says to pick ControlCommand ("found ball". Script Start) and ControlCommand ("Lost ball". Script Start. If so, this is not in the list of scripts in the new software on tracking control options. I will take some pics of my setting and see if anyone can guide me.

This is a really great community you guys have here, Thanks;) Oh, to Winstn60. what servo speed do you have it on?

Mine is the same as Rich's ServoSpeed(D8, 2)

You wont have to use a ControlCommand code for your camera to track correctly. You need a let lit subject and carefully adjust the colour setting so only the object you want gets detected. Glyph's are good for this as the don't need setting up in the same way. I have enable forward motion and left/right motion ticked but enable movement tracking is unticked but that shouldn't make any difference. Post some pics

I had issues with camera tracking because I forgot to set the grid. But after I did that it worked beautifully. Really like how nicely the camera works, the start and stop buttons make it more reliable.

Servo speed of 2 was the smoothest I found when setting it up. I also have the grid set up so the centre square is smaller than the outer 8 squares, not too small otherwise it's forever twitching. I'll try and post a screenshot later.

I have tried it this morning with little time I had before going to work. It did follow me, but would loose me easy at times. I think the lighting in this room sicks. you let me know with the pics I post. This is the settings I have it on right now.
