Post Camera for ev3
Hi

We are trying to learn how to use the camera. We read that nxtcam supports ev3.

We searched but only found examples for NXT. Would have any examples in ev3 we could see for understand the instructions?

Thanks

The examples should work fine for both NXT and EV3. Take a look at the examples in my driver suite: https://github.com/botbench/robotcdriversuite

Hello.
How could I know the value taken by the camera as a central position?

Thanks.

I am not sure I understand your question.

You follow the biggest blob in your field of vision, as detected by the camera and apply a simply PID algorithm to control the motor that points the camera at the centre of the ball. That means that if you find the centre of the ball moving towards the right of your vision, you move the camera in that direction, proportionally to the offset of the ball's centre in comparison to the desired position of it (the centre of your screen).

I'm trying to follow a ball with the following program

Code:
#include "C:\Program Files (x86)\Robomatter Inc\ROBOTC Development Environment 4.X\Sample Programs\EV3\3rd Party Driver Library\include\mindsensors-nxtcam.h"

task main () {
   blob_array _blobs;
   memset(_blobs, 0, sizeof(_blobs));
   bool _condensed=true;
   int _l,_t,_r,_b;
   int _nblobs=0;
   float xcenter=0;

   _l=0;_t=0;_r=0;_b=0;
   eraseDisplay();
   NXTCAMinit(cam);
   while(true)
   {
      eraseDisplay();
      displayCenteredBigTextLine(5,"%f",xcenter);
      _nblobs=NXTCAMgetBlobs(cam,_blobs,_condensed);
      for(int i=0;i<_nblobs;i++)
      {
         
         _l=(_blobs[i].x1);
         _r=(_blobs[i].x2);
         _t=(_blobs[i].y1);
         _b=(_blobs[i].y2);
      }

      xcenter=(_l+_r)/2;

      if (_nblobs >=1 && getUSDistance(S4)>5)
      {
         if(xcenter>97 && xcenter<=120)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,30);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,23);
         }
         if(xcenter>120 && xcenter<=140)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,30);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,17);
         }
         else if (xcenter>140)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,30);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,12);
         }
         else if (xcenter<87 && xcenter>=65)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,23);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,30);
         }
         else if (xcenter<65 && xcenter>=45)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,17);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,30);
         }
         else if (xcenter<45)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,12);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,30);
         }
         else if (xcenter>=87 && xcenter<=97)
         {
            setMotorSpeed(motorC,30);
            setMotorSpeed(motorD,30);
         }
      }
      else if (_nblobs ==0 && getUSDistance(S4)>5)
      {
         setMotorSpeed(motorC,10);
         setMotorSpeed(motorD,-10);
      }
      else if(getUSDistance(S4)<=5)
      {
         setMotorSpeed(motorC,0);
         setMotorSpeed(motorD,0);
      }
   }
}


when I put the ball in front of the camera the robot follows the ball without any problems, but when I throw the ball, the robot does not have time to read it and do not follow.

How I can make the robot follow the ball when I throw?

Sorry my level of englihs
