Update help ---- PoKeys No moore

Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.11 (wheezy)

I have one laptop to test things with, need to update but not finding where files are.

Want to test webcam in gmoccapy and need suitable videoplaer. Where to find correct path?

Wheezy is way past end of life, so anything regarding it will not be easy to find or install.
Manually downloading things might work:
pkgs.org/download/linux-image-generic
is just an example, search in the upper right corner.
If you want to update LinuxCNC, most probably it will not work as it uses the RTAI kernel, but give this a try:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/getting-start...#cha:Installing-RTAI

Hello Toma, happy new year from Sweden.

Ahh it looks like it is best to upgrade directly to latest RT.

So what short do I take to upgrade OS and LCNC?

Happy New Year and all the best wishes.
Official ISO is the easiest and quickest way:
linuxcnc.org/downloads/
The first link.
Regards,
Tom.

So, installed 2.8.0

Still not able to update or install webcam


ABOVE FIXED Loose network cable

And gmoccapy:

And maybe this in Dutch:

EMBED_TAB_NAME = Camera
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = ntb_preview
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = mpv /dev/video0 --wid {XID} --vf-add=drawbox=-1:2:-1:240:t=1 --vf-add=drawbox=2:-1:320:-1:t=1 --no-border

This is a bit complicated. Above works OK with the built in WebCam in my laptop but I cannot get my external Logitech 3000 to work with those settings.

The camera works with webcamoid where I can select cameras.

Even disabled built in camera and still no go.

Anybody to give me some hints here?

Go to Philips USB webcams

Have you tried the qtvcp camview?

There is a modified version here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/40057-camera-...choff?start=0#182507

Although this one is more suited to plasma machines

EMBED_TAB_NAME = Camera
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = ntb_preview
#EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = mpv /dev/video0 --wid {XID} --vf-add=drawbox=-1:2:-1:240:t=1 --vf-add=drawbox=2:-1:320:-1:t=1 --no-border
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = mplayer -wid {XID} tv:// -vf rectangle=-1:2:-1:240,rectangle=2:-1:320:-1

It works with MPLAYER. Have to do some tweaking as picture is way too dark.
