Release 6.5 Now Compatible with Unix, Windows and RPI #10

Closed pageauc closed 7 years ago

pageauc commented 7 years ago

I have modified the speed camera code to be compatible with windows and unix platforms using a USB Web Cam as well as a RPI using either a RPI camera module or Web Cam

On windows you should run the latest version of python that includes numpy and opencv. https://www.python.org/downloads/

I have tested on my windows 7 computer and resolved compatibility issues. The new code includes optional free disk space management feature and optional Creation of sub folders that triggers a new folder base on specified max files and/or age of sub folder in hours

Please raise a GitHub issue if you find and problems or have suggestions. Claude ....

This is so awesome. I just found this project and was going to buy a raspberry pie but now I'm going to test it out on Windows. I suppose the documentation to get it running on Windows doesn't exist or needs to be written? Thanks again, awesome project, can't wait to get it going.

edit - I've tried on Windows, I don't see where you are getting the link to python that includes numpy and opencv? Can you provide that specifically? I've installed both python 2 and 3, and getting a req numpy error. Maybe I'll try it from my mac....heh

edit 2 - found this link , giving it a shot http://docs.opencv.org/3.1.0/d5/de5/tutorial_py_setup_in_windows.html

Download the latest release from today. Fixed a bug that crashed speed camera. Also fixed makehtml.py so it will recognize subdirectories.

I found performance on my Windows PC with a logitech web cam was slower than a single core RPI as far as I can tell. Did not do actually test..

Code does work on windows except for bash scripts so menubox.sh does not work. I have not put up instructions except that you need latest python that includes numpy.

Best way to install is accessing github repo at https://github.com/pageauc/rpi-speed-camera Select download zip or you could clone as well

I ran from IDLE session and this seemed to work OK. Running from a cmd prompt cut off logging messages. Use an editor to change config.py. Initial setup defaults to Calibration mode so as soon as you update calibration data change calibrate = False per GitHub Repo instructions and Wiki. the webserver worked great on windows so I could review speed camera images. Also I would recommend looking at configuring for subdirectories by max file. I have mine set to 1500 in a directory since one day amounts to approx 700-750 images. This setting will create a date/time named subdirectory in the image folder. It took a few changes to make the program cross platform. I am still thinking that creating a web management interface would be more universal. Original program was RPI only so I developed the menubox.sh whiptail menu for speed cam management. I have done some web development but I would not call myself an expert by any means.

Let me know how you make out. I would be interested in any suggestions.

Claude - Thanks - I haven't been able to give this attention yet, but certainly will and thankyou for your detailed response. I live on a residential "cut - through " street that my township continues to do nothing about. The speed limit is 25mph and I'm sure I've seen folks doing 50mph + basically every day during the rush hours. I can't wait to get some tangible evidence and see if something will ever happen so this tool is near and dear to me. Thanks again and I'll provide an update when I get it running.
