Robit - A new raspberry Pi Robot (open source)

I would like to share this new robot we developed. It's based on RPi 2 with the Pi Camera and we're planning to release its sources to the community. What's really cool about it is that you can program him (Python or JavaScript) very easily, no need to install anything, no IDE required, just open yo...

Re: Wifi dongle disconnects after about 10 seconds

One more thing: The dongle has a blue led. When it's connected the led is blinking and then after a few seconds is simply turns off for a few seconds (the led) and that's when the dongle is disconnected. After that it starts again and re-connects. It's as if it shuts itself down every few seconds. V...

Hi, I'm have a Raspberry Pi 2 with Kernel 3.18.8-v7+ (Wheezy). I used the Edimax Wifi dongle for a while and it worked fine but I needed a larger distance so I decided to try a WifI USB dongle that comes with an Antena. It's a cheep Chinese dongle using the RTL8188EUS chipset. After installing and e...

Cloning a 8GB SD (with Rasp OS) to 16GB

Re: Camera settings and configuration with OpenCV

Ok, I found here: http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/s ... e&artid=14

That there is a config file at: /etc/uv4l/uv4l-raspicam.conf and I believe I can use the awb option.

Is there such a conf file for the official driver as well?

Camera settings and configuration with OpenCV

Is there a programmatic way to control camera settings? Assuming OpenCV needs to use one of the RaspiCam drivers (the official V4L or unofficial user space driver), how can I change the white balance for example?

Thanks
