@abdullahjhatial said in Onion Tau stopped sending data...: did you resolve this issue ? i am also facing same issue ,

@sriharsha-phd You can't retrieve an RGB image, but you can get a grayscale image. See the distancePlusGrayscale.py example program for more details: Info on the example program The example program source code And the Tau Camera API Reference & Documentation

Small note here, MIPI CSI-2 can also use more [than two] lanes (it's basically the same interface, and I believe uses I2C to control/setup the sensor). This is offered with newer 22-pin connector based camera sensors for other solutions - I may need to dig into their schematics + source a bit to understand which pins on their chips they use, but there is an assumption here that they have the support for the interface built in.

@crispyoz cheers for the inspiration and cheers to you!

@sks14 It will support all UVC (USB video class devices) compatible cameras: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_USB_video_class_devices The Logitech C920 is tried and true. We used that in the timelapse camera project in the Omega2 Project Book.

@crispyoz Thanks for your feedback. There is a request submitted by https://github.com/AndreyMitsyk already. He found the error in May, 2019. I was able to correct the scripts. But I do neither have the time nor the ability to update the OOS app. It may be done by modifying JSON files, but I don‘t really know

@Lazar-Demin I tend to prefer to connect to the omegas through my router once they are connected to it, instead of through their own ap. In fact I just put up another thread asking what the correct way to disable the ap is because when I tried, the sta connection never would come back up once I disabled the ap one and Ihad to connect back via the ethernet expansion. I have a really good router but ended up buying little antennas to attach to the omegas. They have been working a lot better since then. The internal ones seem to be a bit lacking to me.

Hi David, Great post, it was very easy to follow and all works great however the terminal does not. All I see is Any ideas ? PS a warning at the start about oupgrade resetting previous configurations would be handy.

MAYBE the cable was 2 separate USB connectors, 1 for webcam, 1 for microphone? Like a Y connector with shared power / gnd? no idea lol

check this https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32953149742.html you can stream via web brower, so you can transfer the image to the omega

@CAP-33 Does not make sense to force a unfit square post into the round hole. (Actually one can't even buy a camera with I2C or serial interface to the outside world. The manufacturers understand the market and technology, don't they.)

Reply to my own thread because it's all good. Being an apt-get and yum guy, I thought the "search" was actually searching repositories. Turns out I guess not, because I basically stumbled across http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/ which has gobs of stuff, including gphoto2, the libraries, and camera drivers already to go. Installed, working, awesome. Hopefully this helps an experienced linux person but a total noob to embedded systems like me.

@WereCatf I have lost mjpg-streamer for some reason but it's weird.... When I try to call it I get a -ash: mjpg-streamer: not found But.... root@Omega-xxxx:~# find / -name mjpg-streamer /etc/config/mjpg-streamer /etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer /overlay/upper/etc/config/mjpg-streamer /overlay/upper/etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer root@Omega-xxxx:~# opkg list-installed | grep mjpg-streamer mjpg-streamer - r182-8 I have removed and re-installed. No luck. Any ideas? Ooh, HAHA, I'm such a dummy! :rolling_eyes: . the package is mjpg-streamer but the app is mjpg_streamer.

The Omega processor is comparable to phone devices out there, so my immediate reaction is yes, it can. Now, that being said, I think that your (future) project requires further details. How will you use the camera feed? Forwarded to another computer like a desktop? Also, do you have a particular camera device in mind? If so, what is it? Knowing its brand and model will help us find out more about its features, more precisely how it communicates with the host (Omega here). And it will perhaps give us some development ideas of our own too.
