Interesting....

The page loads fine -- as quick as anything for me.

If I ask the page to refresh, it will -- but if I again click refresh before the image has fully displayed, I get the broken image link "?-in-a-box".

Maybe just a Safari thing.... Looks very cool!

Probably is a Safari thing. Doesn't do that in DeerPark Alpha 2.

How weird would it be to have a webcam hooked up to it so it could take pictures of itself and serve itself to the in'ernet while we all load up the images it takes with a webcam picture of itself and serves it to us using apache so we can see the picture it took of itself.

My brain hurts.

Huh??? Sorry, I lost you at the webcam taking pictures of itself.

I have now got a webcam plugged into it, and it's "streaming" video over the internet.

It's probably a bit dark, and it's just a cheap webcam so the image isn't that great. It is better with more light.

The "streaming" is not how it will be done. At the moment it's just a meta refresh ("client pull") which only allows a max frame rate of 1fps. I should be able to get 10 to 15 fps without to much trouble, using a "server push" approach. I just need to get php compiled for this to work.

Resolution is set at 352 x 288, cause my upstream BW is limited.

Here's the link again http://lduncan.dyndns.org

And a picture of the hardware which is doing all the work (for those that didn't see it last time):

I'm getting about 3fps (more or less), but it's awesome that a little thing like that can really deliver. What does the full project entail?

Did you jsut adjust something? the picture seems to have gotten much brighter.. I can actually tell it is a playground now

 

[lduncan]

No, it's just an overcast day here in Christchurch, it was raining earlier, but now there is a bit more light around, so the image is clearer.

The camera isn't that good in low light conditions.

ah, yes.. it does look VERY cloudy... would you like to trade for this 97 degree 95% humidity here in eastern PA, USA?

 

[lduncan]

Sure i'll trade. It's about 8 degrees here (46 Fahrenheit).
