That's what I like about open source projects!"
Dominik Fretz commented on Dan Myers's blog post Camera a Zoom Zoom!"Dan,
What did you had to do to get the Ubuntu package fixed?
I'd like to add that to the image! Then we can add support for it in the UI.
Cheers,
Dominik

Dominik Fretz commented on Dan Myers's blog post camera enabled"Hi Dan,
Just posted a new image. See here: https://github.com/codewithpassion/openrov-image
That should fix all the issues!
Except, sometimes the image is still broken on the first request. Just hit f5.
Cheers, Dominik"
Dominik Fretz commented on Dan Myers's blog post camera enabled"Hi Dan,
Thanks for your input. I'll have a look on the latest image (currently testing) and see what I can do.
The libs that are needed by mjpg_streamer are in /usr/local/lib and AFAIK you should be able to start the process manually with sudo…"
Dominik Fretz commented on Dan Myers's blog post camera enabled"What tweaks did you had to do? We might be able to add them right away.
Cheers Dominik/@codewithpassion"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"Alejandro,
You are right, if you power the BB via USB, the camera probably won't work.
The other thing was that Brad used an outdated image.
Please use http://wp.nu/openrov-image-0"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"hum, thats strange. looks like it couldn't start mjpg_streamer.
Have you tried with rebooting the BB and just try to browse to <ip>:8080
Without running any scripts?"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"Yes, that means there is another process running on that port (8080). :)
Try to do:
sudo /etc/init.d/openrov stop
node server.js
(the first command takes a few seconds).
Btw, make sure you don't have a proxy set up in your browser!"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"Hum, You should not need to actually run the start script. It is run by init.d.
Anyway, it might be that there is an issue with one of the node modules.
To check that:
cd /opt/openrov
node server.js
that starts the node process in the…"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"when you restart the BB now and browse to http://<ip>:8080 it should work.
the node process is started automatically and will start mjpg_streamer once you connect with the browser."
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"hum, I actually checked with my HD5000 and I get the same 'cannot get freq at ep 0x82'.
But not the problem with the input/output buffer.
Do you run your BB with a 5V power supply or 'only' powered through USB?
USB ports…"
Dominik Fretz commented on David Murphy's blog post New Image works like a charm"hum, looks like mjpg_streamer can't find your camera.
could you try unplugging and re-plgging your camera and type
dmesg
On the BB command prompt?
It should say something like:
[ 3335.878691] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using…"

Uploading Ardino firmware from the UI
One thing I wan'ted to look into for the new UI is, a way to upload a .ino (or a zip file) through the UI and let it be installed on the Arduino chip.
It's not terribly difficult to compile arduino code on the BeagleBone, you need the arduino package and the INO tool. Beside that, you need a way to reset the Arduino chip (that's part of the circuit of the OpenROV BeagleBone cape). That can be done with a script that will be included…
