ftc-dashboard VS EasyOpenCV

I would highly recommend this library. You can tune variables quicker using it. https://github.com/acmerobotics/ftc-dashboard

Noted, thanks! Usually when we connect to the web interface, it's to use FTC Dashboard, which uses 8000 for the websocket.

FTC Dashboard lets you graph telemetry and download it as a csv file.

FTC Dashboard shows a live feed of the camera if u set it up right.

It could be a memory leak somewhere. If you use FTC Dashboard, make sure to update to the latest release (0.4.7) as it fixes a memory leak when the dashboard is installed but disabled, which was affecting some teams at competition. If you are using vision code, make sure you are not creating new objects every loop cycle, which will fill all system memory until it crashes. (We have had this issue multiple times in the past when we are using OpenCV-based detection, it's an easy mistake to make.)

Yeah - just run it from the dashboard. https://acmerobotics.github.io/ftc-dashboard/

The SDK has a built in camera stream, which isn't great, but it can help. If you are willing to go a little more complex, look at ftc dashboard It has a few really great features including the ability to live view the camera stream and allowing you to set up variables so you can update them on the fly.

This is the change that was needed for FTC Dashboard: https://github.com/acmerobotics/ftc-dashboard/pull/88/commits/e85c0e7134035650d2a6d3d90c2bbf2a882580f4

FTCDashboard

you can record from the robot's POV with openCV: https://github.com/OpenFTC/EasyOpenCV/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/teamcode/PipelineRecordingExample.java

The SDK provides a UVC driver for webcams; it does not provide anything for phone cameras. If you'd really like to write your own implementation, you can use parts of https://github.com/OpenFTC/EasyOpenCV/blob/master/easyopencv/src/main/java/org/openftc/easyopencv/OpenCvWebcamImpl.java as a reference (which uses the SDK UVC driver), but do note that writing your own implementation means you need to write your own code for a live view, as well as handle threading etc.

getting basic computer vision working is pretty easy with EasyOpenCV and the AprilTag extension.

Apriltags, yes. You just upload the aar files using the OnBot interface. You can get them from the OpenFTC project: https://github.com/OpenFTC/EasyOpenCV/releases/tag/v1.5.2 https://github.com/OpenFTC/EOCV-AprilTag-Plugin/issues/4

We used the example for https://github.com/OpenFTC/EasyOpenCV/releases. Our fork is from the official FTCRobotcontroller repository with extensive slipstreaming. You are welcome to view our repository at baqwas and provide feedback to our programmers who are continuously learning new techniques. I'm sure that they will learn something from your feedback too.

This seems really odd to me, although someone else opened an issue about it: https://github.com/OpenFTC/EasyOpenCV/issues/55
