Revision as of 14:38, 29 January 2008

The control panel is a new feature on the Elphel cameras that allows for:

• A quick scan of camera hardware & software status
• A separate report of camera hardware & software status can be generated, this can be sent to Elphel for the aid of troubleshooting the cameras or for personal use.

Current Status

This project is currently in BETA, and can be found at http://camera address/UI.html

The Control Panel can show the following information

• Camera IP address, Gateway, Broadcast Address, Netmask, and other network settings
• Camera Serial Number
• Camera Software Version
• Processes (Daemons) currently running on the camera
• FPGA info
• fpga_sdram_phase
• Cat_interupts

You can change the following network settings with the Control Panel

• Camera IP address
• Broadcast address
• Netmask
• Gateway

High Priority Upcoming Features

• An 'advanced' section that refers some of the API calls for a more thorough call of status.
• Ability to reboot camera from panel
• Ability to start/stop/restart certain processes

Easy Snapshot

Easy Snapshot and Easy Video are side projects we hope to merge into the control panel as they progress further. They would allow the user to take snapshots and video clips from the camera's live stream.

TODO

• Elphel support email and other contact information on the page
• Verification of IP and other settings before they are set
