Greetings all; When I took the newer Dell computer out to the garage and hooked it up late this after noon to drive the GO704, I plugged in the old camera, and logged into it from the house just now. I ran linuxcnc -l, and chased down and installed stuff that running linucnc said it couldn't find. only one light on out there and the camera is hanging on the cable looking at a very dimly lit black hole behind the machine. It still comes on with the shakes but soon settles if the axis screen is pulled bigger than startup. But I went thru all the motions that killed the camera so bad that when it quit streaming the only recovery was a full powerdown reboot.
I just ran lcnc/axis at up to a full 1920 hd screen and back to as small as I can make the axis screen. Several times at various speeds, the cameras nearly black image never hiccuped. But its a usb2 camera running at about 8 fps in the dark. The machines bios says it has some usb3 ports, and the new camera needs them as its quite a bit higher resolution. Now I have to figure out which ports are usb-3, Dell didn't colorcode any of them pale blue. So I've got a wide grin. I might actually be able to use it. ;-) Take care and stay well everybody.
