My experience has been that its slow, and buggier than a ten day old road kill carcass in August. Or, I've had a whole row of bad cameras. If the axis display is expanded on a 1920 by screen, to the point where the autosize has to start expanding the image to fill the tab, by even 1 pixel, every camera I have tried has gone away to a black screen. Stopping linuxcnc and running cheese can't find a camera and requires a machine reboot to restore the camera to functional. Now I've found a higher resolution camera that is spindle mounted and much sharper that just works, and I've installed eclipse and opencv and hope to get that working. Its a hundred bucks, has a cheesy mount that is very fiddly to adjust for parallax and certainly won't survive running into a fixture bolt, but the image is several times sharper too. I've got at least 2 versions of camview, but the machine I was going to use it on lost its video about 18 hours after updating it to buster. Onboard video on one of the now elderly D525MW boards. So, I've a couple boxes of Dell's with i5 cpu's headed this way. They should have the cajone's to run LCNC for a good long time. And it will put me with 3 machines all alike plus one to program mesa cards with plus the pi4b running the biggest lathe. And a trailer load of old stuff to clear out come warmer weather. Anyway send me a url when you can. And thanks a bunch. [...] Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
