github/webcam-pulse-detector/openmdao-0.6.0$ python ../get_pulse.py VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument

Window opens with webcam image. Looks fine. But nothing happens. How long should this take?

github/webcam-pulse-detector/openmdao-0.6.0$ python ../test_webcam.py same results

Notice the white lines on the left of the image. Otherwise nothing different.

The lines that show up with test_webcam.py are part of the test, so that's okay.

If nothing seems to happen when get_pulse.py is run, then it may not be able to detect your face. Try moving the camera around, or change the ambient lighting a bit, etc.
