Zee Kamehra wurks!: Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Okay, so maybe I'm not the most meticulous blogger, but I'm going to try to be better from now on. I'm going to try--not promise. (And don't give me that Yoda quote either....) And yes, the title's supposed to be like that as opposed to "The Camera Works." I know how to spell. I just like mixing things up.

Today, programming's got the camera more or less working with LabView. Yeah! What took us a week or more last year got done in a day today. We also finished our green light (kudos to James for laying down the last pieces!) with duct tape and such.

Mr. Movellan brought us our own programming box! Yesss, no more stuff getting lost and other boxes pushing programming aside! :D It's big enough to fit all the pieces without taking all of the wires apart. (Hey, that takes time too, and the more time we have to work, the better.)

A few things I probably should put down here for possible future reference:
>To upload the parameters from file, the camera can't be taking in frames (i.e. searching)
>There is a 'run' command under one of the menus on top so it's not just in editing mode all the time

Hopefully it makes sense, but...better something than nothing? Lots of hope for this year (in programming, at least)!

Err, am I supposed to put my name after my posts? I mean, the posts ARE under my section thingy.... Oh well, just in case....
