Video Window Does not render

erik

Whatever makes sense. If i need to recalibrate the device to make all the cameras work with the newer depthai I can do that.

This link will show me how to do that?

Which version should I install of depthai? what is the best way to install that specific version making sure the newer version is 'removed'?

erik

Thanks Erik.

Hi Erik,

One last thing I decided to try before the calibration was to set this up on my MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.3.1 (a). So when I ran the depthai_demo.py script, the RGB camera still showed no video, just like the Raspberry PI, but I feel like I got more output that may help determine what is going on with the RGB camera. I am trying to rule out of this is a physical or configuration issue with the OAK-D Lite. See below:

Yes all scripts referencing the right and left mono cameras work perfect. Just the RGb does nothing.

Specifically I have been trying to compare and contrast the rgbpreview.py (that does nothing, generates no errors but does not even render a black window) and mono_preview.py that does work. I am trying to debug these variables in pycharm:

xoutLeft = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)

According to the hellow world example provided in the documentation, this is where the camera gets 'added' whether it be RGB or Monjo. I am trying to figure out what is different with the camera that works and the one that doesnt.

Anything specific I could look at to determine where the issue may lie.

I was looking at the connection attribute but is says 'None' for the value for both cameras so that is not a good indicator why one would work and one would not. Any variable specifically I could set a debug 'watch' to shed more light on this?

Where do I find the pipeline graph tool? What do I need to execute it?

Here is the output from first running mono_preview.py which does work:

(base) Brians-MacBook-Pro:examples brianhouse$ pipeline_graph run "python3 MonoCamera/mono_preview.py"

Pipeline schema retrieved

Program exited.

0. MonoCamera.out (10) -> XLinkOut.in (2)

1. MonoCamera.out (6) -> XLinkOut.in (1)

Here is the output from rgb_preview.py which does not work:

(base) Brians-MacBook-Pro:examples brianhouse$ pipeline_graph run "python3 ColorCamera/rgb_preview.py"

Pipeline schema retrieved

Program exited.

0. ColorCamera.preview (8) -> XLinkOut.in (1)

Are there other modules I am going to need"?

also I noticed it has a lot of options which ones do you want me to run?

BrianHouse

ok, I figured out all the dependencies. I have Camera Test working. I guess I take all the defaults to the prompts and 'connect' to the device"?

Sure thanks for all your help Erik and Jaka!

Hi Adam,

I have not received it yet. I also asked them for tracking info which I have not received yet.
