Post NXTCAMgetAverageCenter
Hi,

What is the max X and Y value for the NXTCAMgetAverageCenter function? i got X = 248 is a normal value?

Thanks

No, that doesn't seem very normal. Can I see your entire program?

yes sure :

Code:

int contactPressed;
int distLeft;
int distRight;
int dirToSeek;
tSensors touch;
tSensors cam;
tSensors usLeft;
tSensors usRight;
blob_array _blobs, _blobs_temp;
int nbBlobs;

void initSensors(tSensors _cam,tSensors _touch,tSensors _left,tSensors _right)
{
 touch = _touch;
 cam = _cam;
 usLeft = _left;
 usRight = _right;
 USreset(usLeft);
 USreset(usRight);
// USsetSingleMode(usLeft);
 //USsetSingleMode(usRight);
 NXTCAMinit(_cam);

}

task readSensors()
{
  USsetOff(usLeft);
  USsetOff(usRight);


  memset(_blobs, 0, sizeof(blob_array));
  memset(_blobs_temp, 0, sizeof(blob_array));

  while(1)
  {
    contactPressed = SensorValue[touch];

    USsetSingleMode(LeftUS);
    distLeft = USreadDist(LeftUS);
    wait1Msec(50);
    USsetOff(LeftUS);

    USsetSingleMode(RightUS);
    distRight = USreadDist(RightUS);
    wait1Msec(50);
    USsetOff(RightUS);

    nbBlobs = NXTCAMgetBlobs(cam, _blobs, true);//retourne le nombre de blob trouve
    _blobs = _blobs_temp;

  }
}

task main()
{
  initSensors(NXTcam, BallContact, LeftUS, RightUS);
  StartTask(readSensors);

  int _x, _y;
  motor[LeftMotor] = 0;
  motor[RightMotor] = 0;
  while(1)
  {
    if(nbBlobs <= 0)
    {
 
      motor[LeftMotor] = 0;
      motor[RightMotor] = 0;
    }
    else
    {
          writeDebugStreamLine("Blob : %d",nbBlobs);
        if(nbBlobs !=0 )
        {
           NXTCAMgetAverageCenter(_blobs, nbBlobs,0, _x, _y);
           writeDebugStreamLine("x:%d; y:%d",_x,_y);
          
           if(_x != 0 && _y!= 0)
           {
              if(_x > ((88) +5))
              {
                motor[LeftMotor] =  - (_x - 88)/5;
                motor[RightMotor] = (_x-88)/5;
                writeDebugStreamLine("On my Right!!!");
              }
              else if(_x <((88) - 5))
              {
                motor[LeftMotor] = (88 - _x)/5;
                motor[RightMotor] = -(88 - _x)/5;
                          writeDebugStreamLine("On my Left!!!");

              }else
              {
                motor[LeftMotor] = 0;
                motor[RightMotor] = 0;
              }
           }
        }

    }
    EndTimeSlice();
    wait1Msec(100);
  }

}


sometimes this kind of value appears.

I'll take a look in the morning, it's a bit late now :)

Your program is not complete. Where are the sensor configuration pragmas?

Post Re: NXTCAMgetAverageCenter
I modified your program to make it more readable. You should use consistent sensor naming. ALWAYS use the Motor and Sensor configuration UI. Consider getting rid of the sensor reading task, it serves no real purpose.

Code:
#pragma config(Sensor, S1,     NXTCAM,              sensorI2CCustomFastSkipStates9V)
#pragma config(Sensor, S2,     TOUCH,               sensorTouch)
#pragma config(Sensor, S3,     USRIGHT,             sensorI2CCustom9V)
#pragma config(Sensor, S4,     USLEFT,              sensorI2CCustom9V)
#pragma config(Motor,  motorA,          MRIGHT,        tmotorNormal, PIDControl, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor,  motorB,          MLEFT,         tmotorNormal, PIDControl, encoder)
//*!!Code automatically generated by 'ROBOTC' configuration wizard               !!*//

#include "drivers/LEGOUS-driver.h"
#include "drivers/NXTCam-driver.h"

int contactPressed;
int distLeft;
int distRight;
int dirToSeek;
blob_array _blobs, _blobs_temp;
int nbBlobs;


task readSensors()
{
  USsetOff(USLEFT);
  USsetOff(USRIGHT);


  memset(_blobs, 0, sizeof(blob_array));
  memset(_blobs_temp, 0, sizeof(blob_array));

  while(1)
  {
/*
    contactPressed = SensorValue[TOUCH];

    USsetSingleMode(USRIGHT);
    distLeft = USreadDist(USLEFT);
    wait1Msec(50);
    USsetOff(USLEFT);

    USsetSingleMode(USRIGHT);
    distRight = USreadDist(USRIGHT);
    wait1Msec(50);
    USsetOff(USRIGHT);
*/
    nbBlobs = NXTCAMgetBlobs(NXTCAM, _blobs, true);   //retourne le nombre de blob trouve

    // This part should not be interrupted.
    hogCPU();
    memcpy(_blobs, _blobs_temp, sizeof(_blobs_temp);
    releaseCPU();
  }
}

task main()
{
  // Initialise the sensors.
  USreset(USLEFT);
  USreset(USRIGHT);
  // USsetSingleMode(USLEFT);
  //USsetSingleMode(USRIGHT);
  NXTCAMinit(NXTCAM);
 
  StartTask(readSensors);
 
  int _x, _y;
  motor[MLEFT] = 0;
  motor[MRIGHT] = 0;
  while(1)
  {
    if(nbBlobs <= 0)
    {
      motor[MLEFT] = 0;
      motor[MRIGHT] = 0;
    }
    else
    {
      writeDebugStreamLine("Blob : %d",nbBlobs);
      if(nbBlobs !=0 )
      {
        NXTCAMgetAverageCenter(_blobs, nbBlobs,0, _x, _y);
        writeDebugStreamLine("x:%d; y:%d",_x,_y);
       
        if(_x != 0 && _y!= 0)
        {
          if(_x > ((88) +5))
          {
            motor[MLEFT] =  - (_x - 88)/5;
            motor[MRIGHT] = (_x-88)/5;
            writeDebugStreamLine("On my MRIGHT!!!");
          }
          else if(_x <((88) - 5))
          {
            motor[MLEFT] = (88 - _x)/5;
            motor[MRIGHT] = -(88 - _x)/5;
            writeDebugStreamLine("On my MLEFT!!!");
          }
          else
          {
            motor[MLEFT] = 0;
            motor[MRIGHT] = 0;
          }
        }
      }
    }
    wait1Msec(100);
  }
}

Post Re: NXTCAMgetAverageCenter
thanks for your answer, i'm using non consistent sensor naming because my sensor task reading was in a different file . You think it's because i'm not using consistent naming that i find some errors? or because i don't hog the CPU?

Post Re: NXTCAMgetAverageCenter
You were not copying the array from one to the other, merely assigning another variable to the same block of memory. That is why I am doing a proper memcpy() call. To make sure that it isn't being read while the copying is happening, I block the CPU.
