Note Viewer

• got expousure control working on pi
  • use https://sourceforge.net/projects/libwebcam/?source=typ_redirect
  • NOT github
  • sudo pacman -Syu
    • always a good idea on arch linux
• • sudo pacman -S v4l-utils
    • installs video for linux stuff
    • not sure if nessescary but probably helps
  • sudo pacman -S cmake
    • for building webcam-tools
  • sudo pacman -S pkg-config 
    • nessescary for cmake to work
  • alias sudo='sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib'
    • add to ~/.bash_profile
    • sets this path variable when using sudo
    • important for using uvcdynctrl
• exposure control
  • sudo uvcdynctrl -s="Exposure, Auto" 1
    • set "Exposure, Auto" to 1
  • sudo uvcdynctrl -s="Exposure, Auto Priority" 1
    • set "Exposure, Auto Priority" to 0
  • sudo uvcdynctrl -s="Exposure, Auto Priority" 1
  • sudo uvcdynctrl -s="Exposure (Absolute)" value
    • set Exposure (Absolute) to value
    • 50ish looks promising

documentation is very skimpy

• Finish rewiring & testing practice bot. Get sensors mounted & wired.  Everything we can do while waiting on feeder & shooter
• test grip with new exposure control
• find a way to rotate camera
• Find best way to see/modify camera settings via command line on linux.  Play with brightness/exposure/etc. to get the best isolation of targets in imagebefore GRIP gets ahold of the stream.  Then adjust GRIP file to make the best use of that.
  • On some websites, they connect the video to the HSV filter twice so that there are two intervals for each. Might want to check this out.
• Work with mechanical to find position for new forward-facing camera
• Drive correction needs changes to handle crossing the 0-to-360 border without making the robot spaz out
• Start autonomous code
• Work on vision processing
  • Faster this is done the more testing we can do with the shooting
• Need to SSH in and shutdown Pi nicely when disabled or match over.
• Find good settings for mjpg-streamer (Look into the fork)
  • keep optimizing (It seems that brightness and contrast being near zero works extreemly well
• Check on spike supply and maybe order more
• Work on wiring of RGB LEDs
• Look at Nolan's new and improved controls list
