Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro will give you immediate updates and new features needed to unleash your robot's potential!
Anyway does not really matter, at 640 X 360 and all the cool tracking I can do in ARC using my Cell camera on the Roomba is just awesome! I will upgrade to this new ARC version from today and see if it helps any more as , I also get a problem when disconnecting camera view in ARC it always shuts down ARC and need to re start it but if I just leave camera view on it will run scripts all day long, so minor bug is all. I am using Android version of Iriun web cam version 2.6.1 which is a Tad faster than latest DroidCam app in google play store (also Win10 client on PC)
2) can you tell me more about disconnecting camera view shuts down arc? That shouldn’t happen and needs to be fixed. I’ll need to know what more you mean by that
Had to edit that top part with resolution 640X360 runs smooth and stable ,even object tracking not too much slow down.
----So I hooked up EZ Tiny with EZ cam and using updated ARC that stop camera bug is gone works Flawlessly but at the Lower 320X240 resolution. seems only a bug when I use USB from my phone/cam,Iriun webcam driver, to Panda running Arc.
Even that Camera driver could be a conflict there. I also tried Droidcam Android cam driver ,but worse slowdown and ARC was still needing to be reset after stopping camera.
I would have to say that overall it still works great on my New samsung phone ,the picture quality on this camera is so much better with color and object tracking,I will keep it the way it is now!
You should be using a real usb camera and not a phone with a fudged broken driver
Your phone is unfortunately not faster than your 8 core intel cpu computer. Your phone runs 1 program at a time and therefore appears responsive. Phone programs are also very limited and don't do very much. Your phone is not a usb camera, even if the broken samsung driver thinks it is :). There's a conversation about ARM vs Intel here: https://synthiam.com/Community/Robots/ARC-and-Windows-on-Raspberry-Pi-4-20102
