For a my project I would like change color threshould parameters to detect blobs via serial monitor but the serial monitor in debud mode can’t accet input.
I’ve opend a new terminal under tools but also the new serial monitor seem not accept input text.
What I’m trying to do is it something impossible or there is a way and some examples that I can use to start ?
Hi, at the moment, we do not have text input into the camera. However, we have a bunch of updates to the serial protocol which will go live at the end of the year which will allow this. the new prototocol fixes a buch of realiablity issues and also makes text input a lot easier to handle.
If you use the Open Terminal feature and connect to the camera as if it were a MicroPython board using the REPL interface then you can do this. However, you cannot do it via the normal deug interface via the main OpenMV IDE window.
To use the system in this mode… don’t click the connect button in the main IDE window, just go to Tools→Open Terminal→Serial Port, open the camera serial port, the baud rate doesn’t matter as it’s over USB, and then you’ll see a serial terminal window. You can send whatever the current script in the editor to run on the camera by clicking the green run arrow in the open terminal window. Then, to accept text input just use the input command in python in your script.
