Camera And Sound Servo Help

Hi guys! I have a camera on my robot, and I was wondering if you can record with it. If so, how do I do it? Also I really like using the sound servo, but every time I pause it, it breaks and I have to restart Ez builder to get it to work again. Is that something you are working on, or is it my computer? Thanks!:)

As stated previously, it saves the video in the specified media folder. The media folder can be located by viewing the MEDIA tab of the Camera Config Menu.

I recorded a few videos using your project of my goofy face looking around at the screen lol

Oh - something else to consider. You can change the Video Media Type to WMV2 instead of MPEG4.

You may not have MPEG4 codecs installed on your PC. The default compression is WMV2, which i recommend you use. WMV2 is built into windows as well, which is why it's ARCs default value.

Yeah I played around with that too. I do have it set to a folder for it to save videos and pictures. It saves pictures just fine. Which is why I'm confused on to why it doesn't save videos.

Are you certain it doesn't save when you select WMV2 as the media type?

i'll see what i can add for more debug information regarding the error. It's a mystery as well.
