Plugged in and ready to go.
I managed to find some Python packages that suit my needs, unfortunately they sit on an older version of Python that I was currently using. Which is fine, it just means I need to do some compatability testing at some point. My main goal today was to make sure I could open my camera via python.
And I managed it, sort of. It's annoying because I wanted to tick of "Stage1" tonight. Basically it turns on, but doesn't turn off. It quits responding and crashes about 2 seconds into activation.
This is a fairly big problem at the moment, but at least it turned on, so that's positive.
Whilst typing this, I had a brainwave, 15mins or debugging and it works.
Running the code, the camera turns on, clicking the mouse turns the camera off.
It's baby steps, I understand that but the components are slowly coming together.
I now have code that - Turns on a camera
- Checks a database for a list of names and returns if it knows (Soon to write new names into the database as a rudimentary memory)
But yeah, I feel like I'm in a good place with this after the first few days of work.
Stage 1 was to give my AI (still need a name) sight. Mission accomplished.
Now, onto the more complicated things
Next steps - Still need a name, possibly SEER
- Move my memory code over to Python 2. whatever I'm using now, 2.7 I think
- Work on writing things to memory
At least I dont have to spend any more money for a while. I'm thinking the next expense will probably end up being a server or something, long way to go until that becomes something approaching a necessity though.
