will do.

Thanks JK, the Kallman Filter approach seems to be the best option, you have definatly given me some good direction, thanks again.

i wish this was my nine to five, its actually a side home project, in my normal life i build ERP business software for a logistics company.... dead boring...

I would say sick if I was going to strap an ACTUAL gun to the rig, airsoft is a game.

the issue is I am able to locate the target as it moves (detection), it draws a square around the target, but as soon as the pan and tilt operations happen to move the target center the camera moves and picks up movement accross the whole screen which makes the entire video feed the target (square changes to the whole screen) this is what i am trying to fix now.... as for range finding i was thinking of using a stereo camera rig and calculating distance to target from the angle offset in each feed relative to the space between the two cameras, first prize for now would be to sort the motion tracking and target aquisition system. but i will look into laser range finding. I didnt think of using a anemometer for windage this would be great as this will be used for outdoor combat. it going to be about the size of a lawn mower when it finished. as for Hunting Cats i happen to have two and dont think they would enjoy being shot at, this will however be used at airsoft games.

Hi Everyone, I am building a robotic turret with an airsoft gun monted on a set of tank tracks, i have found some code for tracking movement on a video feed from a static camera, the problem is everytime the turret moves to aquire the target the camera moves with the gun screwing up the tracking, what i am looking for is some kind of algorithm that allows for the video feed to track and center the target while sending the commands to the turret to pan and tilt (aiming), the camera is mounted on the barrel for aiming and the gun is mounted on a 2 axis servo system, i dont know what i would call an algorithm like this to look for one. Any help would be greatly appricated. Thanks Andrew

Download SharpDevelop its an open source C# IDE that has a built in C# to VB and vice versa converter works like a charm, I write in VB and an constanly too lazy to convert C# to VB manually, or you can get hold of .net reflector, you can reverse engineer the whole project into any .net lanugauge you want in one foul swoop. :)

Well I dont know, I have had it for about 8 weeks now and no problems at all?? i actaully installed it becuase ie 7 kept crashing

Hi Everybody, bit of a strange one here, I am not very good with networing tools in .net but are looking at building a firewall i can write and then install on a windows xp/server, i want to setup internet connection sharing on that box with dhcp or my own dhcp server and then issue ip addresses to other machines on the network, any one of the client computers will then try and access the intenet or email, it must then ask them for a username and password i have setup in an admin portals somewhere, it must then log all the bandwidth used by that user and then when they leave i can view a total bandwidth used report for that user on all ports. If anybody know what assemblies in the .net framework wil help let me know otherwise any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated I think somekind of a dns interseptor would work but dont know how to handle traffic routing in .net.

What .net Framework you using also add your account details to the smtpClient the code I gave you last answer works everytime.

I think the problem is the fact you are trying to use mail.hotmail.com try adding your Credentials to the sending, if not find a different SMTP Server public Send Mail() { MailMessage message = new MailMessage("Send to Addr", "From Address", "Subject", "Message"); message.IsBodyHtml = true; SmtpClient emailClient = new SmtpClient("Othe SMTP"); emailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false; System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("YourSmtpUserName something@yourhost.com", "emailpassword"); emailClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo; emailClient.Send(message); }

Hi I am building a access restriction system into my logon and it work great for IPv4 only allow access to pcs with the following IP's 172.74.20.x but how does this work with IPv6? fe80::91da:172b:26fe:994d%10 ???? Thanks

Hi All I have a question, I have 2 offices one in botswana and one in South Africa, I am building an intranet for our company that will handle our logistics information, users will logon to the same website or a clone of the website depending on thier country, I want to set something up so users in botswana use that databse and users in south africa use the db in SA, but the data must somehow come together so users in botswana can see the RSA data loaded and vice/versa problem is the line speed from botswana to south africa sucks so the main reason I want 2 databases is for speed of the website in botswana. Any Ideas besides replication maybe clustering of somekind. Also should run SQL 2000 or 2005 still desiding what DB will be best to use license wise or so on.

Thanks but I have tried this and it causes another problem if there is only one row in the dataset and you try to edit a cell in that row it does not update the database with the new cell value when you leave the cell as soon as there is a second row it works fine. Any thoughts?

Yeah I reckon it's the only way that actually works using external forms for editing and adding rows, as the events do not fire as expected, also if I disable the addnewrows and the dataset has only one row the update does not fire on cell_leave or cellendedit at all, and I have to save the changes on an button event, bloody microsoft expect us to use this crap, it diffinatley does not work like it should I have also searched high and low for documentation in the SDK on how to implement a real world working example of the DataGridView that vaildates user input on editing and adding new rows. with no matter how many rows you have or what keystrokes you use to leave a cell and then actually send the update to your database using typed datasets.

Ok have a simple datagridview well at Least I thought so.... its bound to a typed dataset, it does not do what its supposed to do, when I edit a cell in the row just above the new row line at the bottom and hit ENTER it creates a new bloody row but not really it only actualy creates the new row if I type something, I only wanted to edit the cell I was just in, but now eveytime I change a cell and hit enter it tries to validate the new row with no input in it after it has updated the database, how the hell do you get arroud this, also previuosly, one of my other problems was I would edit a cell and then on CellEndEdit I wanted it to update the database but it would not really run the update I stepped through the code and could see the data in the cell had changed and the tableadapter.update had run but no change to the DB at All, until I edited another cell. Please if any of you know what is goig on with the first problem of createing a new row on hitting enter in a non new row please assist.

Hi All, I used to be able to put an excel document into an IFRAME and let users view the document over our intranet this does not work in Vista with IE 7, I have thought about using an activex with excel on it and then loading the excel document on the control, just wanting to know if any of you have ever done something similar, dont want to build an activex if I can get away with another option, all I want is the user to load a webpage with an Iframe on it and display an excel document in read only on the users webpage, it must open in IE7 on vista and XP, this may swound simple but its not from what I have read, all my users have excel installed.

Hi just got a copy of blend and have been trying to figure out what the design process is for building an application using visual studio 2005 and blend, basically the videos I have have been great at showing what you can do, but nothing about using blend with windows forms, how the hell do I apply designs done for user interface to a windows form. I am very used to build everything in visual studio and build all my code routines and functionality in VS, now blend looks like it lays the stuff out great but how do I view the elements built in blend on a windows form. Any suggested walkthroughs for building a simple application in visual studio and using ui elements created in blend and then linking buttonclick events to code would be greatly appreciated, I have been trawling the internet and havent found anything of use yet. Thanks

I have also just done the same thing I start my new job on the 1st August, right bunch of idoits I work with here now, no planning and all our projects are late also one guy per project. it sucks...

I use DVD Decrypter, as you can import the dvd vob files straight into pinnacle 12 or Movie Magix Pro 11 after you have decrypted them, and you dont loose any quality, also rips the menus. very nice
