USB camera with GRIP or Roborealm

[medofbr]

We have a similar question that was asked by David Lame, but I don't think I saw an answer how to do this. His question was "how do I get the output of the camera into grip?" We have figured out how to get the camera on the laptop into GRIP, but not the camera on the RoboRio into Grip. If you could provide any information how to do this, it would be very helpful. Thanks.

With GRIP running on the RIO? It should work the same.

If you're using a USB camera, you either need to have it plugged into the device GRIP is running on, or use something like mjpg-streamer to "convert" it into an IP camera.

I am having success with RoboRealm using an IP Axis Camera. To use a USB camera with RoboRealm you would need a Windows machine ON the robot (like a Kangaroo).

We've been experimenting with Grip for a while and are, in general, experiencing nothing but sadness and memory overflows.

Try putting -Xmx50m -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError as your deploy JVM options

That fix is already there.

We're not giving up on Grip; we'll keep trying it as new updates come out. But for the time being, RoboRealm is working.

I appreciate your hard work on Grip! Keep it up!
