Jeff, Shaper user here. Yes, block the light. The Shaper only really needs the light it outputs. As soon as you showed your board I knew it had to be the sunlight. Sunlight is fine but that much contrast will make the SO a little dizzy.
Thanks. This was a new experience for me and I'm glad nothing was wrong with the unit. Thanks for watching as well.
to error is human, not to really screw it up you need a computer
it should have read--->"to error is human, BUT to really screw it up you need a computer"
sorry
It's a camera system. It has autoexposure compensation, but with such bright direct sunlight, it can't properly process the digital sensor chip information to 'see' the dominoes. Just reduce the brightness/contrast by blocking or partially blocking the sunlight.
I ran into the same issue and fixed it the way you did. There's a reference to this in the forum in the Do Not Section of workspaces: "Set up your workspace beneath lighting that is liable to change substantially (i.e. outdoors with passing shadows) or with low-quality LED lighting". Glad you fixed it.
Thanks for the input and for watching.
