[HCII] Another Update, Deal with it. CW: Rant Inside

Yes, it's about another update on my Human-Computer Interaction Interface final project, deal with it.

At least, we're over with ESP programming by using localhost instead of thingspeak as a server. Harits has done some wonder work in this as i don't know how he made it to be honest (gotta check the source code and the server later). Apparently, thingspeak is so busy processing other users requests so that ours got neglected and resulted in "server busy blah blah" error. I don't know how and frankly don't really care why, but at least we have put a problem to its rest.


Yeah, never trust thingspeak.

Oh, and here's some proof.

So this week was mainly about setting up the OV7670 camera module, or finding on how to stream a video from an arduino-connected camera. We found some library at www.arducam.com . You might want to check it for yourself in http://www.arducam.com/download/ . The problem is..... it sets and tweaks the camera in a low-level fashion, and it is kinda hard to learn it, and the functions/procedures in the library isn't really well defined (at least in english). Am i joking? No i am not, check it by yourself (of course i would really appreciate your help if you understand something).

As we were having a hard time learning it, we found another solution by using an android application named IP WebCam that turns your smartphone camera into network camera. Harits found a YouTube tutorial and he set his cellphone just as the video instructed and somehow it worked. Anyway, here is the video:

So, what's next?

IP WebCam might work, but we still have to figure out how to combine it with the webpage and the arduino, of course if we've decided to use it. It's not final yet. We still could make the OV7670 work but the possibility is lower than just using the IP WebCam.

Gotta run, thanks for reading the post. I'll see you when i see the fit time.


EDIT (28/04/16 10.40 PM):

Harits somehow found a way to send data to thingspeak. Turns out because of the Get HTTP protocol error that made the data transfer to thingspeak failed. I still have to read the source code first so i can tell you what was wrong and how he overcame the problem. I will update it once i get the source code. Anyway, Here's some proof:

Kudos to Harits, Undeniably MVP of this week. And kudos to everyone too, you all have been a great help.
