#apertus IRC Channel Logs

hello! MathArtistTurbo

How are you?

welcome to the irc channel

let me read up on our email conversation so I know where we are

right done

2. webbased GUI to control the camera

its up to you want interests you the most and what you want to spend time with

I'm glad too,

or in case you have any questions/remarks/things to discuss I am happy to help too :)

The first thing that get my attention was the remote control app for the axiom

we on purpose decided against native mobile apps as that would mean we would need to create and maintain ios, android, etc. apps over several software and hardware generations

that way any device can access it and we can centrally maintain it through the camera firmware

Anyway a mobile app in Qt use the same codebase for android and iOS, but the devices compatibility is an issue anyway

Ok

so regarding the web gui

1. the camera internal control daemon

that is being developped by BAndiT1983|away

he would appreciate help definitely

and provide communication interfaces to the outside world, like a commandline tool or a websocket server

I can help with that sure

unfortunately often people start from scratch and code away and then you have 3 different projects basically

I started the first webgui prototype as pure html/css/javascript: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/beta-software/tree/master/software/http/AXIOM-WebRemote

It looks like you are in the need for a project manager to organize this task

then there was daniel thompson who improved upon it with and rewrote it using the quasar framework

evening

Hello BAndit

BAndiT1983: do you remember where we hosted/collected the sources daniel thompson created for the webgui?

ah I think I found it

its his personal repo

ah, you were faster

so it would indeed need a dedicated project manager to work through all these and see what can be used/cannot be used and then organize the task to get the people involved and on track to a common goal :)

sure, any time you need

*he/she

right

remember the camera has finite resources: 2x800mhz arm cores and around 600-700MB RAM

se6astian: that's why the idea of sending one time, from him, is interesting, details are in the lab

found the cause of the problem with response to client, but it involves bigger fixes, am at it right now, but it needs some time

Is the intention to have a NodeJS server on the camera itself?

it's should be used only for pre-compiling all the javascript stuff and preprocessing html and css

Ok, better this way, NodeJS is prone to take over very much RAM

as i mentioned before, we can build automatically through some CI system, lately things turned to circle ci, which also is capable of building OpenCine with OpenCL dependencies

this topic was discussed some time ago, but GSoC was still on, so it hasn'T moved further

some infos are newer than this VM, as dthompson has created it some time ago

currently fixing a problem with response from server, when it's done, then we can start to extend registered methods, at the moment just set_gain works, like ./DaemonCLI image_sensor set_gain 2

Example {     "sender" : "web_ui",     "module" : "image_sensor",     "command" : "set_gain",     "value" : "3"     "timestamp" : "",  // can't remember the format for now     "status" : "success"    //have still to

}

will copy it to pastebin

It looks very transparent and clear

what is missing at the moment: feedback on first request, to tell the web UI which methods are available and what ranges are allowed for certain functions

can't remember at the moment, but you can look through the lab.apertus.org or ask questions, if you need more info, as not everything was written down

https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Control_Daemon

if anything is missing or unclear (I am sure a lot of documentation/ stuff) is missing please make a note (lab or wiki) so we can improve the situation

MathArtistTurbo: you can also write an email to apertus team, so we can discuss it (in a bit slower pace), when not everybody is on IRC

Yes we shall have a new meeting in a week

then lets schedule the details via email

I think I have enough to start, I will be asking by Mail if I have any question
