cmucam3-hardware (#1) - CMUCAM 2 Help (#220) - Message List
Hello
I just recently received the CMUCAM2 and I am having some trouble getting familiar with the software. I have a few questions regarding the capabilities of the camera. I was wondering if the camera was able to track two different colors simultaneously. Also what compiler would I use for the CMUCam2, is it the same complier used for the CMU3? If anyone could answers these questions for me it would be mostly appreciated. Feel free to email me a Yosemitesam50@hotmail.com
Thank you

The CMUcam2 isn't meant for your own development. It uses a modified version of the ByteCraft? compiler which is not freely available and requires external hardware to download the firmware. The CMUcam3 by contrast is designed for development with a free compiler and the ability to download firmware over the serial port.
You can track multiple colors with the CMUcam2 if you use Poll Mode in conjunction with Buffer Mode. You can load a frame, call a track color command on it, rewind the frame and call a new track color command on it. This effectively lets you track multiple colors, but at a slower speed. It would be possible in the CMUcam3 to write your own custom color tracking code (or modify the existing code) to track multiple colors at once.

I was reading the manual and I remember reading something on Poll mode. I'll try to find some more info on how to use it.
Rewinding the frame seems like a easier method. How would I rewind the frame I didn't see any option for rewinding the frame on the GUI. I have the CMUcam2V1.0 software. I tried using the CMUcam pro software but it wouldn't find the camera.
Thank you for you reply.
