I've received my EZ Dev Kit. The camera doesn't seem to work and customer service asked me to post my problem here in case anybody is able to help me. The only configuration setting I see is the camera's IP, which I set to the same IP as the EZ controller. The camera led shines steady blue. But when I click Start there is no image and an error is shown in ARC: 9/27/2014 1:29 PM - error camera: System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid. at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Stream stream) at EZ_B.EZBv4Video. (Byte[] ) at EZ_B.EZBv4Video. () Please advise: is the camera faulty or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for any suggestions!
Thank You for sharing that D.J. Having multiple cams might be a cool option to a single project. Thank You, Steve S
Hi, sorry to jump in on this I've had my EZ-B for about a month know and have been doing the lessons when time permitted. Everything runs well enjoying the simplicity and applaud DJ and the team for the ease and simplicity that make this a solution that NOOBS like me can jump in and take control of ideas without much understanding of code, thank you. I have finally got to the stage were I wanted to use the camera. There is a problem with me trying to connect the "Humanoid Head with Camera & RGB Eyes". As soon as I press the "camera device" button from "add control", i get a popup "error at loading of ippSP library"-"no DLLs found in the Waterfall procedure". I think this is a driver issue.
The software informs me the software is up to date, so are the drivers somewhere else? My OS is Win8.1 Pro 64bit, i5 with 8gig ram.
I've also gone and checked continuity to the cable from the camera=ok and reseated camera pcb's and cable connections. The blue LED on camera PCB flashes a few times and stays on when EZ-B is turned on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks confused
@ALT3R3D Do you have Go Pro camera software installed...? I think (if memory serves me) that this is causing the problem...
Here's the search result for that issue with GoPro cameras - it's a known issue with their software and they have yet to fix it... Sadly, there is nothing we can do on our end: https://synthiam.com/Community/Forum/Search?query=ippsp&page=1
Thanks Richard and DJ for the quick respond. I am trying the guide now.
Excellent, thanks again. If everything was that easy! Know to take over the world.....
Thank you for the wealth of suggestions! I've tried them all, and everything seems configured correctly and I have no problems communicating with the other sensors and motors, but still no luck with the camera, it refuses to work and continues to give the same error. confused Is anybody able to use the camera while connected to the EZB's wireless network? (i.e. with the EZB in AP mode rather than having the EZB connecting in client mode to the home wireless).
Topolino, after the driver issue I had that conflicted with my go pro camera, I get no problems receiving the telemetry over wi-fi. I hope you get yours going soon.
