MJPG-Streamer...Yet Again

You woke up toady almost as excited as yesterday. You went to Calc period 1/2 and had a good time practicing AP multiple choice questions. After math, you left school with Josef and went to your basement to work on getting a reliable video feed. After testing the Raspberry Pi Camera with Netcat (networking software) and MPlayer (video playing software), you decided to install MJPG-Streamer on the BeagleBone Black.

This was not hard, as you had already done it many times before on the Pi. After installing MJPG-Streamer both you and Josef were delighted to see less <.1s of delay! To bad you were viewing it from the Webserver....after running it through VLC and optimizing the speed you were able to get a feed with <.5s of delay. You took a picture of the difference between the webserver (right) and VLC (left):

After Josef left for English and Liam for Latin, you went to Nick's house and he showed you V2 of the float (which he and Liam had been working on). It was very nice compared to V1. You and Nick then tweaked the blog (RoboGoby) and made it look even better!

After a fun, but windy Frisbee practice you went to Swimming. Swimming was fun, but you sure were tired. You drove home, ate, did a few things, and then went to Nick's at 20:15 to finish up part of float V2. While at Nick's you attached the second stepper motor to the float (the one used to neatly organize the tether) and created the second half of the pulley system used to organize the tether. After you successfully helped fix the bandsaw (it was really Nick's dad that fixed it ). All in all it was a good day.
