Installation for Colab

RustX

I want to utilize DepthAI device for my project working on Google Colab. Which installation guide shall I follow in this situation, please?

Hello RustX, I am unsure if it's possible to actually do this. Since notebooks (and your script) are running on Google's servers , and your device is connected to your computer. Or do you mean to just use jupyter notebooks?
Thanks, Erik

Hello erik, actually, I wrote a JS function to access my local built-in web camera while working in Colab. I get the stream of my built-in webcam (src=0) without any problem. But when I attach my depthAI device (src=1) through USB3.0 hub I can't get any output. Any suggestions, please?

Hello RustX, I just asked the team and we don't support this out-of-the-box. What would be the use case, as opposed to running the script locally?
Thanks, Erik

Hello erik, well, since I'm using MacOS M1, it is much more of a pain in the ass because of the known reasons (compatibility & performance issues), than it was helpful in achieving a good clean easy-to-manage result after migrating to the cloud. Until I ran into real-time video streaming issues...

Hello RustX, I completely understand the issue, but I believe it's still less of PITA if you try to get it working on M1. There's a paragraph on installing lib on M1 Macs in our docs. Could you try it out?
Thanks, Erik
