Hi,
I just got a Roli robot for some SLAM experiments, but the camera does not work. I was trying the tutorial with the red ball that should be tracked, but the camera showed up as disabled in the on screen log.
The camera is plugged into the EZ-B board in the only correct manner there is possible.
Please, do you know what could be wrong ?
best

Can you see a solid blue led light through the white casing? If not you can try Very carefully removing the camera from the casing... Unplugging it and plugging it back in again... Could just be a lose connection....
Hi Richard,
Thanks a lot, I can see the solid blue light through the EZ-B casing, but it is blinking. Is this ok ?

Just another thing: everything else works. All the servos work and the robot can dance and wave
When the camera is working correctly the blue led will be solid... it should only blink momentarily when you first power it on... Are you using the same IP address for the camera as for your EZB?
Camera IP is "EZB://192.168.1.1" and EZB IP is "192.168.1.1:23", so same IP but not port designation for the camera. Could this be the fault?
The strings above are copy and paste from the GUI of the desktop app.
The blue light is still blinking

Your IP's are good... Stupid question, but in the camera control did you click start to start the camera?
After restarting the ARC and reconnecting WiFi the blue light is constant (non-blinking).
I did press start to start the camera, but I think the client sw discovers that the camera is disconnected and returns to a stop mode so that the start button is visible again.
The camera is still shown as disconnected. I have tried to mingle the cables with no success
I got a log:

I would say the camera is broke, ...
