In our project we have the ARToolkit installed on several machines, and not all machines have problems with the V4L version of the toolkit, so you could try out the V4L version before resorting to the GStreamer version.
If you encounter the following error: “error: acquireing channel(0) info” it probably means you should configure the ARToolkit [...]
Just found this post which deals with the exact same problem that I have been fighting with…
After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) some buttons no longer work in Eclipse 3.5. Clicking has no effect but keyboard shortcuts still work.
Create a script to start eclipse with the following export…
#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
/opt/eclipse-3.5/eclipse
… and remember to change [...]
To compile Delta3D it is necessary to first create a solution file for a IDE (or some other environment) and then build the project using that tool. Delta3D 2.1.0 does not come with pre-created VS2005/8 solution files like older versions of Delta3D did.
To create a VS2008 solution for Delta3D 2.1.0 first obtain the following programs/sources:

Quick rant… if you, like me, use Ubuntu Hardy Heron or some other Linux distribution with SCIM enabled, and for some reason can’t use the ctrl+space auto-completion feature of Eclipse, check your SCIM key settings. In Hardy Heron SCIM gets input before other applications, like Eclipse, and ctrl+space is captured by SCIM and not send [...]

Designing the Robot
The following drawings were made for the initial design of the robot.The head and [...]
As written here, we have be doing a classic AI project for the last 3
month and got quite a good result. I’ll just post some material from
our solution, pictures, source code and some comments. There’s a
report available here as well. It includes some of the source code and
some explanation of the design, but does not [...]
JAOO2007 is over, and I’m back from one day of tutorial and three days of conference. Got to see a lot of stuff, hear some great people, and talk to other developers and it-professionals. Didn’t quite get to see as much as hoped for, since working as crew this year definitely took more of my [...]
In two days it’s time for the annual JAOO conference in Aarhus, Denmark. Again this year, my buddy Jesper and I will be participating, as crew. As student you need to work 12 hours, but the you’re free to participate in all tracks and sessions at the conference, get your dinner paid, and a party [...]
There is some videos, pictures and the source code for the robot available here
Can’t really say I enjoyed it, or even learned a lot, but at least it was a good opportunity to play with Lego.

When they say you can’t get to old to play with Lego, it’s only partly true. Sure, you still enjoy [...]
So… I seem to have a couple of unfinished posts waiting in my drafts section. I’ll try to see if I can take some time before long, and really get some updates done.
In the mean time, I’m following the summer course AM36, at the institute, which takes up most of my time. The course is [...]
