RAF_Magpie, do you use InfraRed LEDs?
I use 3 IR LEDs that have these values:
Forward Voltage 1.2v
Forward Current 20mA
Power source is a battery of 9V
With a serial assembly I need a 270 Ohms 5% resistor.
Now for the over bright part... I have turned off all the auto settings and tunned down to minimum all the sliders in my webcam controls using AMCAP (freetrack 2.1 still loses the settings sometimes). Also I had removed the IR filter from the camera and iserted a visible light filter made from a small bit of overexposed and precessed colour film. In the end you play with the threshold slider in Freetrack main window. You go to the left when battery is getting depleted.
I am using a Logiteck Quick Cam Connect webcam. What webcam do you use?
