Noisy Camera

When I start the camera of my Roli, it produces some noise (rattling), when I stop it the noise disappears. Are there any movable parts inside the camera bit?

What could be wrong?

Also the camera does not always have the proper network address. I have to adjust the robot address whenever it connects to my WLAN (client mode), and until the recent update the camera address followed what I entered in the Connection window. But since the update to 2015.02.06.00 (firmware v16.6) I observed both the noise and the lack of address synchronization.

As taken from numerous dictionaries and glossaries;

Axis - an imaginary line about which a body rotates.

Plane - a flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it would wholly lie.

The camera rotates around an imaginary line thus an axis. The horizontal or X axis is pan while the vertical or Y axis is tilt. As has been explained to you multiple times by multiple members and backed up by numerous sources.

This is correct. This is how camera movement is denoted. If you are saying it is wrong then please feel free to correct every pan/tilt camera manufacturer, video game developer, software engineer, photographer etc.

Some references for you; Advances in Image and Video Technology - See page 677 Robotics and Automation Handbook - See page 22-3 I can post more but I am sure it will be wasted.

I've also answered your questions multiple times. I refuse to explain any further much like I am now refusing to provide you with any assistance until your attitude changes. I know many other community members are also of the same opinion too.

These look like technical definitions, not mathematical ones. I understand that axes are related to motors in this context, that's a somewhat meaningful view. But what then is the definition for the axes of an image (picture), what should rotate about these? Above "plane" is a recursive definition of "flat" and "straight", otherwise a plane is defined by 3 points.

But thanks to your assistance I understand now, why our discussion is so fruitless: we use the same words for very different things, so that it's almost impossible to understand each other. It will be sufficient when you respond to my further questions that you don't understand them, instead of writing long answers to questions never asked. Thanks for the fish ;-)

@Everyone_and_EZ-ROBOT.

If you look at this guy's past posts you can see the only thread he seemed normal in was his first. In all the rest he has been combative and arugmentive. He tries to play people as fools that are trying to help him. He is taking up the valuable time of good intentioned people with better things to do and away from other people who could use the help.

I think this person needs to be banned.

I agree 100% with @Dave... cut him loose....

edit oh, and as a parting gift send him a Philips screwdriver...:D
