For switches to use for hole detection these are perfect both size and price-wise.

i was going to use them myself in an earlier prototype.

I would love to have that code, apart from that i'm pretty much ready to start doing some real-life tests with my machine so

Yeah as far as i can tell there's no way of changing the y offset to part, i tried doing it manually in the config file but that was ignored. maybe ill try my hands on modding the software, not too familiar with it yet.

Quick question; i've gotten the placement to work with 12mm tapes with caps using the image recognition, but i'm having trouble with the 16mm tape / 14-pin opamps. I'm thinking it might be because it's a black part on black tape. Any hints on what type of image / camera settings to use? I'm not sure...

Finally getting to get my pnp to behave somewhat, but i have a few questions in regards to the r-mod software; There doesn't seem to be any way of setting the "y to part"-value in the tape definitions, it's always stuck at -3.5mm which isn't going to work for 12mm or 16mm tape, what's the ...

My problem has nothing to do with homing, it happens after a while. I've checked the $sys settings and everything seems to be in order. Should i disable the power management of the TinyG entirely?

So after replacing both cameras the software does not crash anymore. Still, the component pick-up gets misaligned almost every time - any ideas what could make this happen? It seems to only affect it on the Y axis and my component tapes are above the board so i wonder if it's a cumulative error some...

So, i believe it must indeed have been the cameras. I replaced one of them with a webcam and it worked a little better, after i replaced the other one too it seems to be entirely stable after a few hours of testing. My guess is that the clunky USB connectors used on the endoscopes does not like to b...

So a few updates; Indeed some of my problems seems to stem from the cameras, the thing is that instead of reporting that the camera is disconnected or that the recognition routines can't find what they're looking for, the whole program just crashes which becomes a huge pain. I generally get a unhand...

So, it's quite odd how it works and i can't say whether it's just one or both. Basically the symptoms are that half the time one or both of the cameras won't give a picture at startup and i'll have to reinitialize them, this often takes two tries as it somehow doesn't seem to be able to do it the fi...
