====== Sample Darwin Tutorial Walkthrough ======

In Darwin, there are many in-built tutorials that will guide you through the basics of various functions. 
I will go through only some of them.

===== Head Tracking =====

Get to the "head_tracking" folder in the directory **darwin->Linux->project->tutorial->head_tracking**.

  $ cd /darwin/Linux/project/tutorial/head_tracking
  $ sudo su
  # make
  # ./head_tracking

The command **make** creates compiles the **head_tracking.cpp** that is already in the folder and produces the executable file that can be run by keying **./head_tracking**.

Colour of the item tracked by the Darwin can be calibrated as such.
  * Open a firefox browser.
  * Type in the **correct** IP address in the address bar.
  * Change the ball hue to dictate the colour of the item  you want Darwin to track.
    * 60 - Yellow
    * 170 - Green
    * 210 - Blue
  * The object that bears the colour is tracked will be shaded in red in the feed from the camera.
  * There are other options to play around with to further narrow down the range of hue that Darwin will recognize.
