Webcam Consistently Crashing on Init

[sjpeccoud]

During my team's autonomous we use a logitech webcam runnng the tfod for Skystone. It initializes ok 1/5 times, usually it is a tedious process of unplugging and plugging the webcam. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can you post your logs from a failed attempt?

The console log crashes because of a getFocalLength() method but I believe that the phone simply cannot see the webcam most of the time on init.

The entire stack trace would be helpful.

So here is the full error message:

Robot Status: EMERGENCY STOP To attempt recovery, please restart the robot. Error: User Code threw an uncaught exception: NullPointerException - Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.vuforia.Vec2F com.vuforia.CameraCalibration.getFocalLength()' on a null object reference.

@sjpeccoud that is not the entire stack trace, that's only like the first line or two

[sjpeccoud]

Thats all there was on the phone screen. Where can I find the whole message?

[Windwoes]

You can pull the robotControllerLog.txt file from the FIRST folder on the internal storage of the phone and upload it here for us to look at.

Hey, I'm on the same team as Sam and am looking into finding out the reasoning for this error. The closest I could find to what you mentioned about finding the whole error message was looking at the logs on the RC phone. How can I find the internal storage of the phone to find this FIRST folder?

adb and familiarity with a shell is the easiest way. They are in /sdcard/ and named robotControllerLog.txt, rotated files have numbers appended to the filename.

adb details can be found here: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb

If you don't want to deal that, you can select View Logs, and if you long-click on the logs that appear the standard Android sharing dialog will appear whence you can choose how you'd like to share them.

for ref: do adb pull /sdcard/robotControllerLog.txt
