HI again,

I wanted to give also some infos about the diffrences of 010 and 020 CAM

the 010 CAM is the Standard one (like in a normal Web CAM)

I must say the picture/video for a distance of 2-3 Meter is like a good webcam. (fast and good video quali.)

For the 020 CAM with the Fisheye..... it´s (my opinion) not so good for this distance.

The 010 is also much faster in recognition then the 020

the 020 is only good for long distances... But a little bit slow (if you know the 010).

I had first the 020 and i was lucky with it.

Then i got the 010 and i think myself the 020 is not so good...

Strange Fisheye visual.. slow recognition.... mmmmm

But this i my opinion.

Boris

Other info:

A Omron Salesmen told me, that is possible to upgrade the RAM on the Camera.

"1. Where will be mounted the additional RAM to increase the number of registered people? The AM will be mounted on the free space on the PCB"

This will be give more place for more saved users.

But how much cost the RAM, where i can buy it and how it really works.... nobody knows ;-)

@Boris, for your idea to integrate logging into the plugin, that is firm no.

What we want to remember is that the purpose of the plugin for the Omron is to provide a connection point to the camera into ARC. From there the scripts you develop inside of ARC can do what ever logging you want. None of that needs to be built into a plugin - that would be bad programming design on my part if did that.

I did get confused on what you are coping twice. Can you re-explain what you are copying twice?

Quote:

So we can use the "Omron.exe" to start can dcheck the album and the plugin read from the same folder. Now i must copy it twice.

BTW, thank you for all your other feedback too on your testing of the other cameras!

HI Justin,

i mean i must copy my album data to the B5T Folder and to the HVC-P Folder

The B5T Folder to run the Omron.exe

and the HVC-P Folder for the plugin

To the logging

never mind - only a brainstrom

@Boris, can you post a screen shot of your B5T folder so I can see what you are talking about and let me know which Omron camera is doing that?

Hey guys...sorry for the late reply, I am just too busy on non robot related things. Which is a shame! stress

I just wanted to let you know that I am using the plugin with my one year old Omron, and everything works very good! I will attach my invoice so you can check the version of my camera!

Nice clean prints, and tight design @rentaprinta

Cool thing we are having this threat running, my Omron was in the shelf for almost a year, now finally thanks to @JustinRatliff, I took the courage to get it all wired and running....AWESOME!

@Mickey666Maus, thank you for the positive feedback! I think the Omron cameras really are great.

I'm also glad this thread keeps going. I know Omron owners are out there or new ones might join us as we keep doing more with our cameras.

Back to Ron and Boris's issue with the folders. I wanted to explain the issue again, especially for folks in the future. The problem is the folder album path is hard coded in the plugin and Boris and Ron have different album paths (and I have a different path as well with my Omron demo P2 camera). I need add a new feature in the plugin to make that an adjustable setting.

But why?

This image is from Omron's command manual. It shows how the album data is communicated between the host (the PC) and the camera in the ROM (Read Only Memory). The ROM firmware communications its own album name. And what we are seeing is even with the HVC-P2 camera the naming convention of the album path is not the same within the same model number of camera, which means either firmware was changed or something.

So in week or when I can when I fix this we can all move past it and forget about it and not worry about it.

But a few of us have aspirations of using the camera for possible production robots and those firmware "gotchas" might be important to know about so if you using it in a production run, make sure your batch from Omron has all the same firmware.

Hi Justin,

i will check the firmware and i will make you screenshots of the folder.

@mickey: Danke, welche Ausdrucke meinst du?

Boris
