pendant cam

[Mgilbride]

Not to be completely redonkulous but, a webcam feed would rock. Would allow you to walk away from the machine anb still monitor and stop / pause a job. Looking forward to playing with this.

Is the pendant currently available to try? See the server but not how to pull it up in the browser.

You can start it from the GUI, then the IP address and port are printed to the console. You should be able to connect to it there.

How did I miss that!! Thanks.

Not having any luck. What are minimum hardware and os requirements to run the pendant. Tried running on a windows xp system. No Joy.

I wrote a simple webcam plugin over here: https://github.com/pelrun/ugs-platform-plugin-camera

It includes crosshairs for doing alignment/registration, an appropriately configured macro can then set the appropriate reference point (e.g. I'm using G10 L20 with the offset of the camera from the tool head)

@pelrun there aren't many people making UGS plugins, this made my day.

[pelrun]

UGS does nearly everything already... :D

[vMeph]

@pelrun could you explain how to install plug in and how it works?

[pelrun]

I added a README, but just download the nbm from the release tab and install it from Tools->Plugins. It'll appear in Window->Plugins->Camera.

[vMeph]

@pelrun whats the name of file? i go to tools- plugins-download-add plugin and when i open to add a .nbm file i see no file to add in, i have search in all folders and nothing

[vMeph]

ok i found my bad, its in releases the file i was downloading the source now on the instalation im getting this

[winder]

@vMeph The auto-update stuff I added recently is messing this up a bit. Basically since @pelrun just rebuilt everything the version is newer than last nights nightly build.

I just reran the build, so if you auto-update (or download the nightly) it should work now.

[pelrun]

To be honest I think my plugin is actually a completely neutral Netbeans Platform plugin (I'm not actually using anything in ugslib) so I might be able to remove the dependency entirely... (!) A job for tomorrow though.

@vMeph: since my plugin is separate to UGS, it's probably better if you raise any issues you have with it on my repository directly rather than here.

[winder]

@pelrun yes that's correct. Depending on UGS Lib allowed you to import the BackendAPI and Settings objects initialized in your constructor.

If you wanted to you could use that object to call G10 L20 P0 X<offset_x> Y<offset_y> Z<offset_Z>. Or you could remove it and install the plugin in the Netbeans IDE.

thanks i have tested i must say looking very good works perfect, it was out of date @winder

@pelrun i was wondering if you ever tryed this icon on UGS if something like this could be implemented on a app like that, that you can be on a smartphone and control what machine is doing, that could be a amazing app unfortunatly that app have some problems that needs to be solved and dont have a webcam option

great job you did it here!!

[pelrun]

@winder: that was my initial plan, but I wasn't particularly happy with the resulting UI. Especially once I realised it would have just been a less-capable copy of the existing macro functionality, and I ripped it all out.

[Mgilbride]

Awesome! Looking forward to trying it.
