I'd like to use the 160x120 resolution in my project running ARC (the latest version) for Windows on a Windows 10 Surface Pro 2 but I get the following error:
11/3/2018 11:37:43 AM - Error Camera.SetCaptureImage: AForge.Imaging.UnsupportedImageFormatException: Source pixel format is not supported by the filter. at AForge.Imaging.Filters.BaseTransformationFilter.CheckSourceFormat(PixelFormat pixelFormat) at AForge.Imaging.Filters.BaseTransformationFilter.Apply(BitmapData imageData) at AForge.Imaging.Filters.BaseTransformationFilter.Apply(Bitmap image) at EZ_B.Camera.eihiq5ToKN(Object )
It runs at 320x240 okay but uses a lot of CPU and the image tends to hang or stutter and falls behind when face tracking. Anyone else have issues with the surface pro? The exact same builder file works fine on my laptop (with Windows 7).
Thanks
Hey DJ, I'll post the logs tomorrow. Are you still thinking interference? There were some pretty big spikes but I haven't time-correlated them. It did finally disconnect today without the camera connected, just a few minutes shy of 12 hours, but I wasn't running the logger. I think the next step is to use one of the loop commands.
Your next step should be hard wiring the ez-b with USB
@Dave , do you ever leave B9 running for a day or two? Does it ever disconnect unexpectedly? I guess I'm looking for more company, lol.
I used vertigo's wifi analyzer to look for a quiet place to to move iRobot to but I must have a pretty good router. It even reaches out to the detached metal garage! I don't think I could go without internet for more than one day. Is that bad? blush
I installed Richard's check camera loop. Now we wait.
I know, I know. But tonight I hid around the corner and used speech synth to mess with my brother-in-law. It was hilarious! I'd love to have this ability at an art show opening reception. I'm not giving up yet.
@DJ someone mentioned using an Arduino USB cord for the hard wiring. I have a few laying around with some USB extenders. Will that work?
@Mac... not exactly... as always here's the ez robot tutorial to connect your ezb via usb USB to EZB
@Mac, I have left him running a full day with no disconnect. The only time i have gotten a disconnect (after I got my original issue worked through of old and outdated router and a weak signal) is when I send a improper command to a device through the Uart port or don't have the Uart port initiated before sending a command through it.
@Richard Thanks for the link. I've read through that article a few times but it seems incomplete so I have a couple of questions:
@Dave I'd forgotten that you use client mode. Right now I'm testing the Loop command to keep the camera awake (so far, so good) but after this I'll test client mode again, using my home internet/wifi router. That should be one way to eliminate interference, right? At least, wifi interference. Have you ever used an online AI chatbot?
