BeagleBone as video server with mjpg-streamer under ubuntu 1210

After installing PyBBIO correctly on beaglebone A6A, I came back for adding video service on beaglebone.
I have tried "Motion" before, it was working on beagleboard xM with pretty good frame per second. But when I tried motion on beaglebone, the program looks running,no error message, but the video was never shown on the client side.

After googling, it seems mjpg-streamer is a good solution wildly applied on beaglebone.

Here is a good web page detailing the steps.
http://shrkey.com/installing-mjpg-streamer-on-beaglebone-black/
Above example use beaglebone black and 1310, I tried on beaglebone white with ubuntu 1210

1st step is to install libraries:

sudo apt-get install g++ curl pkg-config libv4l-dev libjpeg-dev build-essential libssl-dev vim cmake sudo apt-get install imagemagick

2nd step: down load mjpg-streamer

wget https://github.com/shrkey/mjpg-streamer/raw/master/mjpg-streamer.tar.gz

 3rd step: untar it into it's floder:

 tar -xvf ./mjpg-streamer.tar.gz

 4th step: compile and install it

 cd mjpg-streamer make sudo make install

 svnversion  is not found, but it does not matter.

 the installation is completed, time to run a test, I'm using logitech C150, you may see different out come on the terminal:
$ sudo ./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so -w ./www"

the server is running and the prompt is not returned.
open the web server with the IP address of your beaglebone at port 8080, great! a server come out.

there are static image or streaming, I tested with my chrome on PC and on mobile, both works with good frame per second in local wifi network.

Since it's web base, browser has great influence, I also tested with ipad, chrome on ipad can't show stream, but with javascript, it shows correctly the streaming. Safari work nice.

Heltec ESP32+OLED+Lora, hardware testing

圖片
you can easily find some good boards from china, but most of them lack of accurate document... Hrere is an example; https://hackaday.io/project/26991-esp32-board-wifi-lora-32 the board looks good with lora and a 128x64 OLED, but the IIC and reset connection is important, since pin can be muxing easily, so every board could be different. pinMode(16,OUTPUT);  digitalWrite(16, LOW); // set GPIO16 low to reset OLED  delay(50);  digitalWrite(16, HIGH); // while OLED is running, must set GPIO16 to high  and, if needed, edit your Wire.begin() to Wire.begin(4,15); (4 = SDA 15 SCL)  i tested it with the Adafruit SSD1306 and the Acrobotics SSD1306 Librarys  both work.  Display size is 128x64 There are discussions on these boards on TＴＮ as a LORA node..or maybee single ch gateway? Heltec has a git :  https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee And there is another copy call TTGO https://de.aliexpress.com/item/TTGO-LORA32-868-915-Mhz-SX1276-ESP32-Oled-display-Bluetooth-WIFI

micro SD card for ESP32, on lolin32 with OLED and heltec 32 lora oled

圖片
I have purchased 2 micro SD card holder for my esp project. First I would like to test with heltec esp32 lora oled module. this module uses: sck=05 MISO=19 MOSI=27 SS(lora)=18, then I assigned 21 for sd SS and there is a lib in esp32-arduino, which use SS default at 5 I took the example and use SD.begin(21), but I alway get the error: entry 0x40078a9c Card Mount Failed But I do saw once that it read out the sd card type and volume. Not sure it's the issue of lora sd card swithing, or it just can't work. The other esp32 card I have is an wemos esp32 oled, it did not leave me too much pins, I need to find out how to connect sd to it. But I have wemos D1 mini esp8266 on hand, and connect it as:  * The WeMos Micro SD Shield uses:  * D5, D6, D7, D8, 3V3 and G  *  * The shield uses SPI bus pins:  * D5 = CLK  * D6 = MISO  * D7 = MOSI  * D8 = CS It's not working with the example in the arduino IDE 1.8.5, which marked SD(esp8266), but it w

Install Network Time Protocol(NTP) on BeagleBone with Angstrom linux and set local time zone

Referenced from : http://cwraig.id.au/?p=513 1. Update your Package List opkg update 2. Get the ntp Package opkg install ntp ntpdate Update 2014/07/03 for the latest beaglebone image(2013-06-20) with kernel 3.8.12, after this installation,  system will add to service list, so only need to change time zone 3. Now we need to stop the ntpd service so we can request a manual update /etc/init.d/ntpd stop manual update ntpdate pool.ntp.org type in date, you should see the date is changing to current date and time, but the time zone is not corrected. The time zone info is contained in /etc/localtime , use this to remove it: rm /etc/localtime before link up our time zone, look into /usr/share/zoneinfo folder for your timezone. I did not find taiwan in asia, not plan to use hong_kong, but there is still: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 now we make the link with ln command ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 /etc/localtime now type date again to check, should ha
