CamView for Wheesy and Jessie

I get this error on step 3 when I run sudo python CamPY_setup.py

I am running Wheezy with 2.7.8 installed

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is not a clue to you?

No I'm sorry but it is not.

Please post you sources.list, there will be a strange line in it.

Just an fyi, I think I found a bug between this module and the buildbot linuxcnc 2.8.0-pre1 with the latest gmoccapy. I've posted the error here:

forum.linuxcnc.org/gmoccapy/26314-gmocca...cnc?start=1300#91566

I've noticed that if I remove just hal_pythonplugin.py from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp, linuxcnc then starts but camview does not load.

Cheers

Hallo John,

during my discription and your install, the filed you mentioned has changed, that causes the error. Have you tried boggies install script?

Install Script for Campy

Awesome, thanks Norbert, I'll give the script a try tonight

Thanks, glad you found it useful, I wasn't sure if the subroutines for moving the machine would work for most however it seemed to work on my machine at work. I will try to finish the wiki page I started a while ago some time soon.

Works straight out of the Box, that means, Installation 1:1 from the perfect Read.me and it works.
Many thanks!!!!

I'm working on a project that is based almost entirely around the camera which I made a glade GUI for. Since I know very little about programming and Gstreamer 1.0 seems to be incompatible with GTK2 I can't get anything other than this camview widget to work. Basically I just need a big videobox in my GUI. The V4l2 controls are great, but I'd rather have them in the mainwindow of my GUI

Right now I'm trying to pull the buttons, circles, and text out of it but any modifications I make to the python file make it angry.

Also the video stream is paused any time a "run" command is issued. I assume this is for performance but jog commands are not effected. Is there any way to have this not be the case?
