Back [09:04:57]<skunkworks> can you access c++ librarys in python?
[09:05:30]<skunkworks> asking that question is probably a bad sign..
[09:16:45]<skunkworks> I kinda want to play with this https://github.com/firepick1/FireSight/wiki/lib_firesight.so [09:17:20]<skunkworks> to see if I can calculate postions of a object and get them into linuxcnc
[09:25:37]<seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks: i've used swig for that, with acceptable results
[09:28:22]<skunkworks> that has come up in searches.. (swig)
[09:28:51]<rythmnbls> did you see this one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/145270/calling-c-c-from-python [09:30:47]<skunkworks> so boost also works..
[09:33:13]<skunkworks> I have not really played with python either.. (other than a hello world..)
[09:33:28]<skunkworks> so I am definatly outside of my comfort zone...
[09:48:00]<skunkworks> maybe I should just look at opencv directly - looks like there is python interface
[11:44:58]<skunkworks_>http://pastebin.com/AUKgyhAh [11:45:02]<skunkworks_> it is a start...
[11:49:09]<skunkworks>http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/testing/Screenshot%20from%202014-10-07%2011:27:48.png [14:35:05]<micges-dev> skunkworks: that's cv test is cool!
[14:35:30]<skunkworks> micges-dev, it was suprisingly easy...
[14:35:48]<skunkworks> (atleast to get to that point...)
[14:40:27]<micges-dev> what will be application for this?
[14:42:31]<skunkworks> we are a screenprinting shop and print circle targets that get laser/knife cut. but those machines are very expenive. If we could come up with a registration system in house....
[14:43:11]<skunkworks> Broader terms - I could see people using edge recognition for finding parts that don't have a touch probe.
[14:43:28]<skunkworks> or hole centers or whatever.
[14:44:33]<micges-dev> neat
[14:49:03]<CaptHindsight> we can use it for pick-n-place with Linuxcnc vs another toy machine project http://delta.firepick.org/ [15:16:59]<skunkworks_> interesting
[15:18:55]<CaptHindsight> but they combine the *dunino and Rpi :(
[15:21:19]<CaptHindsight> without too much effort we can have all these features with Linuxcnc
[15:49:21]<brianmorel99> Is there a wiki page for installing the RTAI kernel via apt ?
[15:51:24]<CaptHindsight> brianmorel99: what are you starting from? what version and distro of linux?
[15:52:24]<brianmorel99> Fresh Install of Wheezy. I forgot about the new live cd. I think I found what I need on the upgrade page under the Ubuntu Precise directions.
[16:00:12]<brianmorel99> I noticed on the buildbot page, anything built for RTAI is only listing i386 and not amd64. Is this do to the RTAI kernel?
[16:02:32]<seb_kuzminsky> brianmorel99: yes, that's right
[16:02:48]<seb_kuzminsky> we only have an rtai kernel for i386, not for amd64 yet
[16:14:26]<brianmorel99> seb_kuzminsky: Ok, thanks
[22:53:39]<memleak> 64-bit does work phenomally though with RTAI now
[22:53:53]<memleak> there just needs to be debs to be made, and i tried for about a week but gave up
[22:54:09]<memleak> i am not a debian guy at all.
