You are never late @Mickey666Maus to the Omron party, cause an Omron party don't stop!

On a serious note....my Omron is the original HVC-P (the one David Cochran developed the first plug in for....but I have on loan an HVC-P2 for testing. Here is my issue, my P2 unit when I save trained users creates a brand new album folder named HVC-P2 inside the EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1 directory.

That's not the default path from the EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1 software. So I don't know if this is something odd my demo unit doing because it's a demo unit or if everyone's HVC-P2 cameras are going to do that? Because my plugin does not point to that folder.

Hi Justin,

I am not having any luck with facial recognition either. I didn't dig in to see where the folder is yet, but it does have data which is shown in the album in the demo software.

I hope to be able to work on it for a while tomorrow.

I have had some other communication issues. Could you clarify what the Omron.exe button does? When I press it I loose communication with the camera.

Looks like HVCAlbum.hac holds the USERxxxx (name) data located in the software folder like you said.

Hey guys...I have set it all up now, but even though my Omron.exe button works and I see myself recognized, I get this message within ARC

Omron HVC-P -- There was an error communicating with the Omron Sensor. Please check your settings.

Could this be a problem with the Python path...I thought its all good, I will check once more! The Python installation is responsible for sending the data over to ARC, right?

Cool to get going!

You can not run both things at the same time, the camera can not communicate with ARC and also the Omron .exe, it is either or. It's just there to make it easier so you don't have to hunt for the plug in folder.

And to clarify, you can have ARC open, you just can't be polling the camera data and also running the Omron .exe. You can only do one or the other at any given time. The button was added for convenience only.

What I need testers to check is the for a album folder in the plugin directory C:\Users\Public\Documents\EZ-Builder\Plugins\d42aefd8-17e4-470b-ae5a-fabdd747035d\EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1

...and see if the user faces are being created in the folder HVC-P, like they should. Or in a folder named "HVC-P2" which is what my specially marked demo unit is doing.

Thanks soooo much @JustinRatliff, this was my mistake...for whatever reason I thought the Omron.exe needs to be running to operate the board! Now everything works like a charm...

One thing I realized while setting up was, it is only possible if a user follows the instructions pointed out in the original version by @DavidCochran, for example the wiring for the FTDI-Friend and the Python Installation.... So I guess it would be nice to either quote some of the instructions or put some link to the original setup?

Those are just details for me it was all easy since I am pretty used to the E-Robot website...I was just thinking of new users!

Thanks a lot for getting this up and running, this is great!

Btw my faces are stored properly as they should...
