· And a·card with gloss red will have a much different I-R signature than one with flat red, too.
· So, the best answer at this point is: it all depends.· Given some controlled circumstances, some modest results should be achievable.

However,I do have a webcam. so I will now use it to do image processing
using java. I will then use java.comm to communicate with the BS2 to control
the hardware part of the 'candy sorter'
if I could use a small sensor then I could have made the 'candy sorter' portable
and cheap.
thanks everyone again
