Welcome to LinuxCNC.org

Hi,

Any help about the black screen?

To be clear,
before to install the cam tab option
I wanted to check if my webcam
is recognized under unbuntu
so I installed "Studio Webcam Cheese"
the only application I found to check.
Nice surprise, it worked.

Then after I tried all what I said before to
install the tab cam option.

Actually I can see a black screen and the cross hair if checked.
Also, when I go to my cam setup option tab
the rest of the main webcam tab interface
become weird,
the size buttons are big suddenly.

Hi,

Finally it works !! woohoo!

I re-read again all what said in this topic page after page
and found the Andy's trouble had same.

The good advice about Installing libgl1-mesa-swx11 instead the default -glx
I did it, and now I have my cam in the LinuxCNC tab

I'm using a chinese webcam bought on EB.

Now I'll re-re-read again to setup all of that
between what I see and the real measuring.

thank's gentlemen for your work and answers.

Regards,

Hey guys, I know this gets old but
I followed psha.org.ru/b/camview-emc.html and I only see a black screen
The cam works using guvcview
In camview I add the camera and opengl to the chain
The camera says streaming and opengl says off
I tried the example input and vivi and get the same black screen
I also tried installing libgl1-mesa-swx11 and get the same
Running lucid and linuxcnc2.5

Thanks

I have an issue that the picture flicker badly - but only when embedded.
If you run camview or camview-emc standalone you will see a nice steady picture.

Any ideas to try to trouble shoot?

Hi All,
Just got camview working with LinuxCNC. All okay until I jog the axes then image feed becomes jerky then stops all together. Running 2.5 on a D510 Intel motherboard, Ubuntu 10.
Anyone got any ideas whats going on?

when I type apt-get install camview I get the message couldn't find package camview.

Any help out there?
