Problems part 2!

As with any project that you undertake, there are bound to be some problems for several reasons such as human error/ lack of understanding or knowledge, mechanical error or time issues.

As stated in earlier posts, the original concept had to be scrapped because there was no visible way to obtain the results that were sought after - RGBA analytic data. However, with the new concept up and running, new problems arose. The slight lack of knowledge and confusion of certain objects led me to make mistake with patching objects together and making simple rectifiable mistakes within minutes once the realisation had kicked in - however, this often took several days to come to light! This is human error and is all part of the trial and error side of things.

There are two main problems that I encountered, both mechanical. 
The first big problem was the lack of data that was being outputted from the webcam. There was very little data being recorded where it was before, therefore, the samples could not be triggered and affected by the incoming data - the whole point of this project! This, however, could be fixed with a simple reset of the webcam, which could be found in the webcam streaming sub patch.
