We recommend using 320x240 with PT4. Your VCam image and setup looks very good!

My son just got some aeroburner hybrid and woods. The white head is messing with the hcam. It is picking up the clubhead instead of the ball so his shots are 33* left. I have messed with the gain, shutter and Frame rate and cannot seem to get something to work. Any ideas? All was working well until the white heads came along.
I went back to reread this thread. I changed the camera to 640x480. set shutter to 14 and fps to 40 and gain to zero.... no help. I upped the greyscale per VanceV to help.... Did not work. I am really stuck on this.1 PhotoLast edited by Boerdoc; 11-02-2015, 03:15 AM. Reason: Rereading the thread gave me other ideas to try but they did not help.

You have the PT method set to PT4. Changing it to PT1 will take care of the problem. It's a bit less accurate than PT4, but has much less misreads.Originally posted by boerdoc View PostMy son just got some aeroburner hybrid and woods. The white head is messing with the hcam.

Thanks, I will try that tonight. Any other setting recommendations, raster, fps, shutter, gain, greyscale to adjust to help as well?

White heads are a nightmare for camera based systems. Part of the detection routine is to find white moving objects.
If you always get these sort of images then indeed PT1 might work better for you.

Well, I tried many settings and the one that worked 8 times in a row was this. Setting the method to PT1. A little bit of greyscale, 108,... shutter at 32,.... fps at 32. And 320x240 camera resolution. Every situation is different. This is what worked for me. The next thing I have to do is get my camera straightened out as I see on the captures that it is not aligned correctly. I could probably do that with some settings but I want to correct the hardware first and only use the software as a last resort.1 Photo

Moving my questions to this thread as it seams in topic.
Am not getting the red box around ball in the preview like I had before a reinstall/recovery of windows. It is also not registering ball path. If anymore pics would help lmk.
Thanks!

Red box not showing is not an issue. The Red box sometimes turns Grey. Same for the Red line. This is because the cams switch to grey scale mode.
By looking at this pic the ball is in the grey box, so all should work. Close all these windows and hit shots in the main interface screen. If it does not show any launch data in there, then you need to check if the sensors are working correctly first. Cameras will not trigger when the sensors are not working correctly.

First make sure the sensor mat is picking up the shots. It should say "Ball launched" and it should show shot data in the main interface screen after every shot.
Here is some documentation on how to check the sensors:

Played several rounds yesterday so the mat has to be working fine. In preview screen it says ball launched in the upper right of window for what I am guessing is the carry distance.
How does one log in as administrator? I have read this before and have not seen instructions for that. Have hit alt-e if that is what you are referring to.
