Yes, the TXT can do that. However, there is no easy way to do it via ROBOPro, but the TXT controller is in principle able to display the camera on the screen. There is a way to demonstrate it, but I'm not sure how practical it is. Here's how you do it:
- ssh into the TXT controller (connect it via wifi or USB cable to a computer; use ssh on linux or mac or putty on windows to ssh into the TXT controller using the ROBOPro/ROBOPro userid/pwd).
- Issue the following two commands:
cd /var/psg/WebCam
sh Test_fb.sh
And the TXT will display the connected camera on the screen. It will still run ROBOPro programs simultaneously, it seems.
You can also view the camera in a browser that you point at the TXT from you computer:
- type '
http://192.168.7.2:8080' in the browser address field, if you use USB, or '
http://192.168.8.2:8080', if you use wifi.
Note: I'm trying this with a non-FT camera (a Logitech QuickCam® Pro for Notebooks), but I suspect this will also work with the ft camera. Like to hear from others.
