PandaBoard: Using a Webcam as a Security Camera

Assumptions: The following assumes you are running Ubuntu on your PandaBoard or BeagleBoard. It also assumes the board has a working Internet connection. If you need to set up Wifi see this post here: http://adventuresinsilicon.blogspot.com/2011/01/pandaboard-setting-up-wifi-on-comand.html This tutorial is about setting up a headless Pandaboard or BeagleBoard with a webcam attached. This webcam will act as a security camera and will record videos when motion is detected. Steps: Install an SSH server so we can login from another computer on the network Install 'motion' software which controls the camera Configure motion Automatically start motion on startup

PandaBoard: Setting up Wifi on the comand line (Ubuntu)

If you want to set up Wifi from the command line (it might be the only way to install a desktop for example) you will need to edit the following file: /etc/network/interfaces If you don't know how to use vim or other command line text editors and just want to edit the file, try installing nano this needs an Internet connection though),with: sudo apt-get install nano Nano is fairly obvious as it follows normal GUI based methodologies. Now you can use nano (or any other text editor, just substitute it for 'nano' in the below command) to edit the interfaces file: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces To determine what entries should go into this file review the options at this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 My interfaces file looks like the following (I am using WPA2 security): auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid <--NAME OF AP--> wpa-ap-scan 1 wpa-proto RSN wpa-pairwise CCMP wpa-grou

Robotics in Brisbane, Australia

Rather the robotics activity appears spread out amongst different groups and entities including schools, universities, small and large corporations and government research bodies. The purpose of this post is to aggregate this activity in one view.
