[IAEP] Etoys Help Requested / Pedido de Ayuda Etoys

Carlos Rabassa
Bert,

thanks for your answer.

I believe I wrote the necessary scripts to get the computer to take pictures at regular intervals and automatically prepare an animation,  based on those pictures,  to get a result hopefully like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cl0aw87LqA

We still have one problem for which we need help.

Neither me using Etoys in a Mac,  nor the person who asked me to post the question,  using Etoys in Windows,  can get the computer?s camera to respond to the Etoys commands in the video section of the camera visor.

These are the scripts we created,  while we aren?t able to activate the camera:

Dragging the camera object out of the Object Catalog,  I get a blue frame with a working clock on it.

Imagine please,  until we resolve the problem of activating the camera,  that the animation I want to create consists of a series of still pictures of this clock taken at regular intervals.

Please find attached what I have done:



I adjusted the clock in the takePics script to take the photos automatically at regular intervals.

I set it at 0.01 ticks per second which resulted in one photo every 1min 40sec as you can see in the clock photos already in the holder.

For the animation script I set the clock at 1 tick per second to be able to see the difference between each frame.

The camera object only works on the XO-1 so far. There has been work to support it on more machines, but so far that has not been finished. Help welcome.

In reply to this post by Carlos Rabassa
Pato,

qu? bueno o?r esto.

Acabo de recibir este enlace de un compa?ero de estudios,  Pedro Vilanova.

CONSTRUCTORA CHINA LEVANTA UN EDIFICIO DE 15 PLANTAS EN DOS DIAS
http://www.structura.com.uy/Content/news/show?id=131711

En la ?ltima l?nea del art?culo hay un enlace al video del tipo "time lapse" que parece aprendimos a hacer.

Es un ejemplo muy claro de algo que podr?n hacer los ni?os con la nueva t?cnica.

Yo creo dominar la t?cnica para hacer el video pero a?n no logro inclu?r instrucciones en el gui?n para que la c?mara se ponga a funcionar en mi computadora no-XO.

Hay algunas instrucciones bastante obvias pero no me funcionan ni al hacer click en el signo de interrogaci?n ni al inclu?rlas en el gui?n.

?Has logrado esto tambi?n o has conseguido el buen resultado usando una XO?

Bert,

thanks!!

When something is not working there is nothing better than a clear answer like yours together with a request for help.

There are plenty of other areas where we,  users,  can focus our energy,  while those who enjoy writing complex code work on solutions to help the whole community.

Hope a lot of volunteers answer your "Help Welcome" sign.

They will be helping you and all of us.

Thanks again!!
