The Small Size Leagues uses Blackfly S (BFS-U3-51S5C-C) USB3 cameras for ssl-vision. Due to cable length restrictions, the cameras are connected to an Intel NUC (NUC7i7BNH) that is mounted next to the camera. Users connect to this computer with VNC from another computer next to the field.
The scripts set up such a computer.
The scripts assume a Xubuntu 22.04 installation. During installation, select the Minimal Installation and the following user settings:
- Username:
vision
- Hostname:
ssl-vision-X
(as labeled on the NUC) - Automatic Login: Yes
The scripts are idempotent, you can run them multiple times. Some depend on each other. To configure everything in the correct order, run:
./configure.sh
There is some interaction required.
The camera firmware can be updated with the following CLI tool, included in the Spinnaker SDK:
SpinUpdateConsole '-R.*' BFS-U3-51S5-Package/BFS-U3-51S5_1801.0.1.0.ez2
