Hmmm I haven't been experiencing this. What seems to happen? With any tracking type once the object is detected the camera skill crashes?

I don't think you need to uninstall the camera. Is it a camera that you have just installed or have you been using it for a while? I'm just trying to determine if anything has changed with your setup.

Do you have the latest version of ARC installed?

I have the latest version of ARC - later I can try another camera

I tried my computer camera and Ez B Camera thanks

So Jeremie, I just got back, what should I do?

EzAng

If you could answer the first few questions I had in my first post that’d help me out

I need more info on what’s happening actually happening.

Wish we can speck, I will try the JD robot next.

ok, when I use the EZ-B v4 Camera, tracking,   with an IoTiny

it only tracks once, then all the tracking boxes are empty - look below, I had it on face, then color, same thing happens, this just started.

I use DJ code:

I downloaded ARC again, did repair, no luck

Like I said,  I will try the JD robot next., Tested JD robot, same thing happens,

I deleted Arc, fresh install - same thing

any ideas?

thanks EzAng

@Ezang:

this:

translates to:

// Wait until the camera detects a face
controlCommand("Camera", "CameraMovementTrackDisable");
controlCommand("Camera", "CameraUseTrackingScripts", false);
controlCommand("Camera", "CameraFaceTracking");
while (getVar("$CameraIsTracking") == 0);
controlCommand("Camera", "CameraDisableTracking");
controlCommand("Camera", "CameraUseTrackingScripts", true);

Audio.sayWait("I see a Face");

Basically WaitForFace blocky enables the cameraFaceTracking and then disables cameraFaceTracking

you can store the previous state i.e. before the WaitForFace and then set after the block

I believe is a design choice.

I assumed CameraTrackingType was the configuration setting but is not. So I believe the solution is to have a global variable to set/store the tracking state and then restore the state after the WaitForFace.

I tried it, no luck

It use to be so simple, what happened?

ptp, how does your camera tracking work? check yours

in Blockly where did you get "set isFaceTracking"? - mine does not have that - now it does, crazy

thanks EzAng

Ptp, I re-arranged the code, now it works when it sees me and stay there for another round of seeing me again and again -  color or face

still my Blockly code some controls appears and the next time it is gone like set isFaceTracking, , go figure :-)

tracking color

In Java:

setVar("$CameraTrackingType", 0);

if (getVar("$CameraTrackingType") == 1) {

// Wait until the camera detects the specified color controlCommand("Camera", "CameraMovementTrackDisable"); controlCommand("Camera", "CameraUseTrackingScripts", false); controlCommand("Camera", "CameraColorTracking", "Red"); while (getVar("$CameraIsTracking") == 0); controlCommand("Camera", "CameraDisableTracking"); controlCommand("Camera", "CameraUseTrackingScripts", true);

}

if (getVar("$CameraTrackingType") == 1) {

controlCommand("Camera", "CameraColorTrackingEnable");

}

Audio.sayWait("I see red");

or

I guess simple is not so simple today :-)

be well,

thanks EzAng
