Wow! Thanks for this delicious stuff!

nice! looking forward to test the vision tools.. thx for sharing!

Lots of fun! Thanks!

Works fine with Rhino 4, though I'm getting the following error in Rh5 64bit

(Version 5.0  (5.1.2012.207, 07/02/2012))

:

Object: WebCam_VideoStream (level 1)
{
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
TargetInvocationException
}

Object: WebCam_VideoStream (level 2)
{
The type initializer for 'Firefly_X.WebCam_VideoStream' threw an exception.
TypeInitializationException
}

Object: WebCam_VideoStream (level 3)
{
Could not load file or assembly 'C_sawapan_media, Version=1.0.4418.24313, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Same error as Daniel in Rh5

Thanks everyone.  Glad you like the tools.  Also, thanks for reporting the Rh5 bug... I'll look into it.  Cheers.  

Good Job . Thanks!

I am getting the exact same error with Rh5 64bit as David posted.

In Rh4 SR9:

Object: WebCam_VideoStream (level 1) {   Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.   TargetInvocationException }

Object: WebCam_VideoStream (level 2) {   The type initializer for 'Firefly_X.WebCam_VideoStream' threw an exception.   TypeInitializationException }

Object: WebCam_VideoStream (level 3) {   Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.   AccessViolationException }

Thankyou for the tools.

Hi Barry,

I'm looking into the Rhino 5 issue.  Your Rhino 4 issue looks like the web cam video stream threw an error when it tried to connect to your web capture device.  Usually, this is an indication that your camera is not working properly, or the type of camera is not supported by the media library. Are you sure your camera works as expected (ie. have you used it before in other applications like Skype?)  Do you think you could provide more specifics on they type of hardware your using for your web cam?  Also, it could be helpful to post a screenshot of your error too (if possible).

Hi Andy.

No camera on this new work-station as yet *!

I apologise for the inconvenience.

Same error for me. But I also dont have camera on workstation :)

Hi Andy,

Even with a camera plugged in the same error. On Windows 7 64 

  in rhino 4 

Hi Tomasz,

I've spent some time looking at the errors reported and I think there are a few things happening.  First, some of the errors which were reported below were because the C_sawapan_media.dll wasn't compiled for 64-bit.  This is only an issue with Rhino 5.0 64-bit version, which some people have mentioned below.  I tested the library on both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Rhino 5.0 and I got the same error message as everyone else when using the 64-bit version, but everything worked fine on the 32-bit version.  I have talked with Panagiotis Michalatos (the developer of that library) about the issue and he is working on compiling a new version to handle 64-bit applications.  No time-table on when this should be available.

Rhino 4.0 is only a 32-bit application, so even if you have a 64-bit machine, it will still only be running as a 32-bit application.  So, if you're still getting an error, that would lead me to believe that your camera may not be supported by the library.  Can you provide more information on what type of camera you are using.  I have an external webcam that I purchased (the PS3 Eye camera which is available from Amazon for about $32: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU/ref=sr_1_1?ie...) and this camera works really well.  Could you provide a little more information?

Cheers,

Andy

thanks for helping and answer! I think You are right, that the problem is with camera device. Although it is working as webcam quite well, and I tested it in processing with success, it's a really cheap "Tesco Webcam VW109" (I'm not sure if this brand means anything to You, but it rather means poor quality:)). I'll switch to better camera and maybe this will help.

cheers,

Hi thebaldearchitecture,

Can you explain more about what problem you are experiencing?  It looks like in the video that you have LED's that turn on and off.  What behavior were you looking for?

-Andy

Hi Andy,

I thank your helpfullness. The problem is no reset in Grasshopper the LEDs only if I push the  "reset" button of the arduino duemilanove board. I can't switch off LEDs in the Grasshopper. I would like that the LEDs lights are fulgurate. Now false=on the true≠off.

thanks:BLA
