If you’re gonna teach math atleast get it right- 1 9/16 is 1.5625 not your 1.3 whatever - I have no clue what you’ve got going on there but if you practice mental math it’s much easier and you’ll get the right answer
Thank you for the video it was great! Concerning lighting that can have a major issue on different algorithms depending on how they work like a basic threshold operation. For what is termed normalized grayscale pattern matching a change in light level does not affect it that much same with edge detection routines. Along with light level making sure your image is always in focus can also be of importance. People who design optical systems use the term blur diameter and keeping the object in focus keeps that value the same. Another possible hook is changing the camera gain may help get you back to the response you had before a lighting change happened. Adjusting a light level using computer control could possibly help depending on inspection speed.
Thank you for the video it was great! I have written a lot of image processing code (low level) such as how the pattern tool would work. I expect it is what is called normalized grayscale pattern matching which computes a correlation coefficient. For the die with 6 dots the issue is only 3 dots were trained so think of it as image subtraction and this die has 3 more dots which is going to add to the error. If the edges of the die were trained you would not have the issues of different numbers of dots, but thresholds can always be set.
Hi, thanks for posting, useful info in this video. One item to note: the reason your PB and LS tag numbers are off by two line numbers is because you moved the ladder in relation to the original insertion point by two line numbers. After moving ladder, "Select the Revise Ladder button and then click Cancel on the dialog box. Using this command forces AutoCAD Electrical toolset to reread and update its internal ladder location list."
Hey EJ! I'm a graduate in the early 2010s from the ASRO program. I use everything I learned at Dunwoody and I've never hurt for work for a minute! Working at Tesla now and life is good!
What surface are you drawing on, on the screen? If I use a whiteboard app, I can write on that using the Wacom or I can use the pen keyboard but I can't just write on the screen. I was wondering if it took some transparent fullscreen app so the underlying desktop or apps would be visible but I could write on the transparent app, giving the appearance of writing on the desktop or other app. I can't find anything to do that so I'm able to write overlaying the desktop or other apps on the screen. Any tips or ideas? Wacom is zero help; I can't figure out how they stay in business, selling a capable hardware product but offering no usable software with it.
Thank you for this very informative video. Question, do you have any videos that describe how to use the pick to pallet option. I entered the columns qty and row qty, then taught the pick, pallet 1, 2, and 3 points. However when run is pressed, the program is running but the robot or simulator is not moving? As if it is waiting for a command?
Why i create robot and keep spinning in robot controller and never end it same as i choose the CAD to point also freeze there. is that anything i miss ?
