Between coffee and 12 o'clock. [7 segments or what?]

Jan Panteltje · 2013-11-15T11:19:43+00:00

First I have to appolologize, did not use raspberry as I have a whole table full of airplane electronics and raspi is in use as PIC programmer. But gocr was useless on the 7 segment recognition, as I found out yesterday or was it the day before, time flies or flys? I dunno. Anyways connected the Logitech E2500 webcam to the PC, grabbbed the Sony alarm clock, got some alu foil from a tin foil hat to screen the setup against the sun, and made a test movie like this: # Logitech E2500 webcam in focus on /dev/video0 # pointed at Sony alarm clock # show camera properties: v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -l # set auto gain of to prevent 7 segment muxing becoming viible in low light: v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl=auto_gain=0 # check it it happened v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -l brightness (int) : min=0 max=255 step=1 default=128 value=128 contrast (int) : min=0 max=255 step=1 default=128 value=128 gamma (int) : min=1 max=6 step=1 default=4 value=4 auto_gain (bool) : default=1 value=0

--- Funny, but you seem to have had no problems - problems with your newsreader, that is - up 'til now...

I just downloaded and read the post you referred to, and it's perfectly intelligible (except for some trypos and, perhaps, grammatical nuances you don't understand because English isn't your first language?) so I suspect the problem - such as it is - is on your end.

Interestingly, you seem to have shied away, technically, and have downgraded the discussion to namecalling and childish bandwidth waste.

A Google search for "Panteltje" clears things up rather nicely, as explained by:

Georgie Porgie, Puddin' and Pie, kissed the girls and made them cry. When the boys came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away.
