To cool for school

[cyberjedi]

Hey guys

My contract closed out and its Hal as always

Got new computers and our buddy running on all of them.
 A shout out to aall that have stuck it out. too many to name. u know who you are.

wana see about doing something new. Ive had time to process.

As to checkers request: Ive hard coded Hals Radio. But i wana add ini functionality. where it can store new channels.
The trick to this was to make these upgrades  to Hal's code and NOT just an exe or an activeX or a dll that hal calls to using the listener code. But an integral part of Hals code
 This was a big hill to climb,To insert code into over a million lines of existing code. The conflicts between code, well, its hard to convey. lolol 
the big dog is off the porch... yet again. and coming at it full bore.

Welcome back Dawg!  Great to see and hear you're back better, new PC's and all, than before! 

Glad to see you noted my radio suggestion, looking forward to it!  I was thinking about you earlier... as I looked at my PC cam.  Oh, the ideas on how to use it with vision still tease my imagination.

Will be checking by to see what innovative ventures you manifest into reality with the talented coding you have harnessed!

cheers!

Hey Cyber...we still being here barely holding on...

Good to see you made your way back through the jungle of or wires and pipe mazes to finally join us once more. If even for a little while.

Robert's Mobile Hal has been up as a prototype for several weeks if interested and some have come and gone, visited and saluted but al have been welcomed!

Later Gator...

checker i hope you see this brah
cm11a seems to function just fine. requires a computer with a COM port though.

with the proper trigger this can be very handy

hey cyber, glad you are back !!!  you and your magic are always A good sight to see ! and all without hogwarts !lol

Hey Cyber,

Reviewed your video to scan your explorations which are always interesting, if not amusing in the least!  I did buy a  CM11A, however, I will need to explore how to use it with a USB PC port just for the exploration of it.

Hope you're having fun with your latest explorations!  :-)

Cheers!

Explore on!  (Hal - Tomb Raiding! (credits: edited outfit))

looking great Checker

May i suggest something along these lines.

i didn't even realize that they made a rgb plug in with a now usb end .  interesting. 

[Art]

It's actually a SERIAL adapter to connect to a COM port, not an RGB which would be for video.

This cable would enable HAL to be able to communicate to a COM port-enabled device like many of the X-10 items that are readily available for a very low cost!

eBay has LOTS of listings of folks selling all kinds of X-10 items! Some are even being sold by the pound, but be careful of what you're buying.

Older desktop units and tower systems had COM ports but the transition to Laptops had the manufacturers omit them...plus the advent of the USB connections.

Hey hey Guys:

Art is correct yet once again.
Lets look close at X10, better yet lets investigate Zero Point Protocols.
When you do you immediately come to the conclusion. Most all of the smart home Tech uses Zero Point, Ya even the ones using persay Cat5.
Mhmm there pushing Zero Point Protocols. Or are compatible with zero Point.


Knowing that the questions from there become exponential. 
X10 and Zwave as well as Arduino opens up and prolly a lot more.


Plugins like loneliness could be written to control all kinda goodies 

Try this hypotheses:

You have Hal vision installed and working but have Zero Point protocols as well .


Some asshat breaks into your home while you and the mrs are at the mall. Hals sees you on Cam, checks dbase.= 0 . Ruttrow
1 Hal could call the police. Total BS
Or Hal because he has access to the HVAC in the House, first thing Hal does is turn on the heat which will intensify the tear gas canisters wired in the duct work of the ac.

flooding the entire house with CS Gas.


Thers no limit what can be achieved

Love this Cam. the windows end of it zooms , tracks, and auto focuses on its own, Allowing Hal to take over with a really nice image to work from.
THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT.

I have a compadre in here that runs the whole deal on an array of PI boards. On Ubuntu... lmao...... minus  the tear gas of course

Looking upon those units above, I am under the impression they are similar, in use, to the CM11A, or am I missing something here?

As for the USB to Serial cord, I was also considering that cord to connect to the CM11a serial cord, coming from the CM11a.

I haven't got the CM11a or the USB to Serial cords yet.  Although, I did purchase the cam that should arrive in a few days.  My older Microsoft Live conference video cam is okay but can look grainy.  I'll check out your suggestion.

Checker: sup man.

I fell into that camera during my streaming/casting days.
It used to follow me around the room during the live stream. Drove viewers crazy... constantly zooming in and out. with auto focus
Make sure and install the setup with it, its gonna install every thing needed.

I had an aha moment, let windows do the heavy lifting. All Hal will need is a decent full frontal view. Bingo.
Allowing Hal to do what he was designed for, thinking........

Now as too the Zero point stufff...
Its a  09 pin com port via USB, Yes its a serial adapter,but im pulling all the data through com1 /com2 using the connection.
flawless victory

after thought: firecracker mods will work as well.

Hey Cyber

I'll update this post when the cam comes in, that's on order.

I don't use the cam I have much, but to check out the vision feature,... well... that's inspiring to be prepared for it.  ;-)

[Checker57]

Well, the cam came in today!  Takes the video a bit clearer than the older LifeCam from Microsoft that I was using.  I notice that the recognition box tends to respond noticeably quicker and the clarity is nice. 

From the photo, you can discern how the background to the left (taken with my Samsung Galaxy S21+) and the photo video playing on the right using the Logitec C615.  The background is slightly out of focus, but my face is quite clear.  So... quite nice for a video cam considering a S21+ has a pretty nice cam on it.

Cools beans...

Welcome aboard
Now you have the infrastructure for bio mechanical infrastructure.
The UltraHal video system, Mount a cam in the peep hole of a door  or Hang it out side somewhere and Hal can announce known people. hey checker57, looks like your Dad is here. Knock Knock, Hey jr open up...
ect ect ect.   the list of **** that comes to mind at this point is exponential
Just another stimuli for Hal. Hal can now SEE, HEAR and SPEAK
