2016-10-09T14:04:46+01:00

Hi All
Well i got Debian 8 runing on the ebox3350mx and The next suprise was everything is working.

Roboard - x86 Embedded Robot Board • eBox 3350MX, OPENCV setup

2016-01-26T18:19:46+01:00

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup opencv on an eBox 3350MX and get some simple camera capture (for now) in java.
I have tried opencv 1.0 and 2.1 as Pedro suggested. I tried even newer version with no luck.
The examples I've used are here:
opencv_java_api.zip: http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/download/01/
Everything runs well without compilation or run-time errors but I get a black screen instead of an image!

I have troubleshot my setup as follows:
1. Installed properly opencv and set the environmental variables
2. Tried all versions of FFMPEG static x86
3. Tried all versions of javacv bin. Apparently, the javacv bins are compatible with opencv 2.4.0 or newer
4. Installed Microsoft vcredist_x86
5. Tried java-jdk 5, 6, and 7
6. I have used a compatible to opencv camera with correctly installed drivers etc (the cam works well with other software on ebox)
7. Tried to use libraries from Processing 1.2.1 (followed the tutorial on http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/)

I really don't know what's wrong or if I am missing something.
Could you please provide an opencv setup guide for ebox and java, or at least tell me what should I do further?
An opencv setup guide for ebox would be very useful and help many people.
Also, is FFMPEG really needed?

Cheers

How are you powering the CD drive? If there isn't enough power, you might have the drive recognize in BIOS, but when attempting to spin up the drive, it may glitch the power and lock up the board.

Hello! I know it's an old thread, but I am in desperate need of some help.
First of all, thank you for the tutorial, it's quite detailed and easy to follow. Nonetheless, I cannot install XP on my 3350MX-AP and it's quite frustrating. I use an external CD-DVD Drive and a class 6, 8GB SD Card. I created a bootable XP CD from an XP ISO. In BIOS, both the SD Card and the CD-Drive are recognised and displayed in the boot selection menu. When I select the CD Drive, the machine just cuts off the video signal to my monitor and nothing happens. I have selected the BIOS Failsafe settings and created 3 XP boot disks, with 3 different methods. Apparently nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Roboard - x86 Embedded Robot Board • roboard-rm-g212-thermal-array-sensor I2C not communicating

2015-04-09T13:54:56+01:00

i2cmaster.zipFor thermal image acquisition I bought 2 RoBoard RM G-212. I am facing the following issues with the sensor:

1). The sensor is not communicating over the I2C protocol with the Arduino Nano microcomputer. I have tried compiling the attached code but have been unsuccessful so far. The error seems to be due to the i2cmaster.S file which is the assembler file. if I delete the file the code compiles successfully and we don't get the output on the serial monitor.

Error:-

2). The RoBoard Sensor/ Melexis MLX 90620 is not recognized by Raspberry Pi2. Perhaps it is the driver issue or I2C incompatibility.

Please advise.

Hi!

http://youtu.be/kdBrr0UHgU0

In this video guys run a robot with the help of some gamepads. They are much more convenient than common ir controller. Does anyone know where I can buy such gamepad?

2014-08-10T17:10:02+01:00

I tried to download the Lubuntu Demo Image from Roboard official website but the link refers to a file on drop box that has been suspended. Is there anywhere else from where I can download the file?

Roboard - x86 Embedded Robot Board • Reading digital pulses from PWM on RoBoard RB-110

2014-04-24T13:03:24+01:00

We are using RB-110 to build a robot. In the project we need to read data from digital encoder. This encoder sends digital pulses.

We're trying to capture flanks from the pulses using

rcservo_InPin(RCSERVO_PINS5)

As we understand, this gives as current digital value of the pulse. When we use a while loop to track changes the system seems to be too slow. Specs say that one rotation are 6000 signals, we get about 3000-5000, and it changes all the time.

Any sugestions for a more effective way?

We're using Lubuntu 10.04 from roboard.com webside and RoBoIO library

Roboard - x86 Embedded Robot Board • Re: Configuration file for Linux 3.10.9 on Ebox-3350MX

2014-04-15T18:38:08+01:00

which version of linux do you use?

I've got gentoo 3.10.32 (I believe) running on my ebox 3332 and all is good except I need to sort out the HDMI driver so that the screen resolution is better than 800x600. Any suggestions? Also I have the 485 ports on my box but I can't seem to get them to work in 485 mode.
The kernel is set up as a i586.

Thanks Andy

Roboard - x86 Embedded Robot Board • 3350MX - How to read SoC UUID?

2014-01-22T20:45:53+01:00

Hello,

I've just bought a 3350MX with the intention to implement an aplication with a copy protection based on the UUID of the SoC.

As stated on the documentation this system comes with:

ISOinChip:
32 Byte one-time write Flash area containing all service tracking data. Data includes: Date codes of all major components, Model and Serial numbers, Unique serial code of SoC, Distributor code, Ship date, etc.

Anyone knows how to read it from linux?

Thank you

Roboard - x86 Embedded Robot Board • Re: Installing debian on Roboard its now just burn Image to

2014-01-21T07:52:57+01:00

Hi, RicardoMarinheiro.
Thanks for your nice info. I wonder whether it supports C#.NET platform as well? I am also testing with the related image processor offered by another 3rd party imaging SDK these days. I want to look for a fine one whose way of processing is simple and fast. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. And I will try your sharing later.

Best regards,
Arron
