Basic Test of Clouse's Software

[robSteele-JPL]

This is just a basic test of Dan Clouse's (Team 696) software. There are LOTS of steps so be sure and ask questions if you have any problems:

• As noted in issue #15 - read the paper before attempting to run his software.
• Install chrome - per issue #16
• Clone the repository: https://github.com/wachapman/JPL-Vision
• Build the software
• Connect a single camera to the Raspberry Pi 3
  • After the camera is connected the following directory should be auto created:
    • /dev/video0
• In the directory mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental run the program with the command line:
  • mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0" -o "output_http.so -w 127.0.0.1 -p 8090"
• A second command line that worked was:
  • ./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -f 10 -r 640x480 -d /dev/video0" -o "output_http.so -w 127.0.0.1 -p 8090"
• In a browser enter: http://127.0.0.1:8090/?action=stream
• If everything is working you should see the live stream from the camera displayed in the browser
• Before closing this issue all of the software team needs to get this working
• Post to the slack channel your progress
• Any problems that are encountered should be posted here
• Details on how to repeat this test should be recorded in a page on the github's wiki. The link is:
  • https://github.com/wachapman/JPL-Vision/wiki
• Try looking up a 2nd camera and use a 2nd terminal window to run mjpg_streamer to stream that camera
• Watch the thruput usage of your computer. High resolutions images at a high frame rate will consume all of the CPU.

I got this working on my Raspberry Pi 3. I was having issues with another process using the 8080 port. To identify this I did the following:

sudo apt install lsof sudo lsof -i tcp:8080 sudo lsof -i udp:8080

After identifying the offending program I killed it with the command:

sudo kill -9
