Sounds like bandwidth tbh.
And now the issue re- occurâŠ
I have upgraded from RPi3 and pixhawk to RPi4 and Navigator on one of our ROVs.
Adding the DWE OS as an extension in BlueOs is apparently only causing old problems to resurface. The picture is freezing, even when setting the camera on VBR. We do not have these issues on the other ROV, using the same hardware, but with the DWE Os 1.0, installed in parallel with Blue OS. We access the DWE Os 1.0 via 192.168.2.2:5000.
Has anyone been successful getting the DWE camera to work properly with Blue ROV running DWEOS 2.0 as an extension in BlueOs?
The camera is working fine when connected and tested directly on the topside computerâŠ
Hi @SDI -
I would recommend against installing DWE OS - their implementation conflicts with the default Camera Manager in BlueOS - weâre working with them to address this.
In the meantime, if youâre able to completely remove the DWE OS software, the camera should be possible to setup normally from the Video Streams page., and you shouldnât have bitrate issues with the more powerful Pi 4 now!
Hi again @SDI -
I just noticed DWE has updated their instructions and includes the details on how to install DWE OS as an extension. Is this what you did?
Tony, yes that is how it is and there is also the problem by the look of it. The ROV with dual OS is working just fine with the combination DWE and BR camera.
I will look more into the video stream page link you gave me. The issue with the DWE camera has always been with RPi4. I have have never tried it on a RPi3. The problem startet right out of the box and after much back and forth the issue was solved be installing DWE OS. Now it seems like that options is not there anymore. When I set the ROVS side by side and plug the camera from the ROV with the latency into the ROV with working set-up, then the latency disappear, so the camera seems to be ok. It also has updated firmware.
Letâs see what the day brings.
Hi @SDI -
I would guess the default bandwidth consumption of the DWE camera is excessive, and introducing latency in your connection as it becomes saturated. Their interface allows you to reduce this, as variable bit rate (VBR) changes the amount of data sent based on the amount of activity in the video stream captured.
I installed the extension version of DWE OS, but it did not load successfully⊠Iâll reach out and see if that can be addressed! Please share your results if you attempt to install the extension.
