In my last two blog entries I have discussed how you can stream video from embedded Linux devices such as the Beaglebone using FFMPEG/AVCONV, the V4L2 Capture program and the Logitech C920 USB Camera (with hardware MPEG4/H264). In these setups I am using the regular VLC player to receive and display the video streams (RTP, UDP unicast and UDP multicast). […]

In a previous post, I described how you could set up the Beaglebone Black to capture video and process video using OpenCV with the Logitech C920 camera. In this post I am going to look at how you can begin streaming data using the camera and code that I had adapted previously. The previous post is here and the final instructional […]

In this post I give a short video tutorial on how I built the LED fish tank lights for my fish tank. I’m using high-performance Cree XP-G LEDs (XPGWHT-R5) on 23mm star PCBs. Each one outputs 556 lumen at 350mA. I use 6 in this video to give an output of 3,336 lumen at a cost of about 39 Watts […]

Fixing the SSL problems with Git
Out of the box, if you try to commit to a […]
I use github.com for all of my source code source version control. I noticed that in the past few days git push had stopped working for me on the Beaglebone Black (BBB) for one of my repositories. I decided to build git from source to see if it was a version issue. The version of git on the BBB is version 1.7.7 […]
I have just posted on how to configure your network to use a static IP address at this post: Set the IP address statically on the Beaglebone Black. One issue that is related is the case where you now wish to use a proxy with your device. This is common within universities and other organisations and the limits on what […]
