Good day BlueRobotics,
I’ve been struggling with the video channel on our new BlueROV2. It has been working occasionally but it would come and go seemingly with no reason. I think I’ve reduced it down to it never running when powering up in 1.1.0-beta.16 but coming up if I revert to factory OS. I can then swap back to 1.1.0-beta.16 and it will remain working until I power down. It will not work when I power back up.
We’re running a Navigator flight controller and I have been running BlueOS version 1.1.0-beta.16 and Stable 4.1.0 AutoPilot firmware. I’m running the Low-Light HD USB Camera (SKU: CAM-USB-WIDE-R1-RP).
I have found that when I power up the vehicle, I will have no video on QGroundcontrol but will get the “Waiting on Video” message in the video screen.
When I check the Settings/Video Streams page on Blue OS it shows that there is no video stream:
If I then change OS over to “factory”, the video comes up no problem:
If I then swap back to 1.1.0-beta.16 without powering down, the video stays up and runs fine:
and the camera shows up fine in Settings/Video Streams:
If I power down and repower in 1.1.0-beta.16, I will be back to having no video and have to repeat the process of reverting to "factory’ and back.
Any idea what is going on? Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug here (or possibly both).
There is a secondary small issue that I found during this process:
When swapping between BlueOS versions I get the BR Logo as the new OS loads. That’s fine and correct:
But even though I hear on QGroundcontrol that “Communication Regained” the BR Logo and “Switching to new core” message remain. When I refresh the page, it disappears, but it took me a while to realize that it was OK to refresh after communications was resumed. I had assumed that I had to wait till the BR logo disappeared which it never does.
