Parts Procurement Update #3/Experimenting with OpenCV - 15/05/15

Logitech C170

I have now picked up the webcam and all the parts required.  We have been experimenting with them all but to no avail.  Firstly, the openFrameworks option mentioned last week also had problems with getting the right files and software versions.  However, shortly after, I have found another site that uses C++ Visual Studio to program object tracking.  The website is found below:

This site provides detailed step by step explanations and instructions on how to correctly install OpenCV into another IDE called Microsoft Visual Studio.  The tutorial is entirely done in C++ language and as a win32 console application.

This is an updated tutorial therefore this time I had the right software and firmware versions.  However, I still had trouble getting the code right and the OpenCV integration into the Visual Studio program.  By today, I have gotten the error codes down from 22 to 1 but cannot seem to get the last code right to run the project.  I have requested for another week in hope of sorting out the coding before we present our findings.
