When Dan Ingalls and a group of researchers created the BitBlt routine for the Xerox Alto computer in 1975 at Xerox PARC, that set the stage for the invention of several important computer technologies. A couple of them are obvious, the modern bitmap display for which BitBlt was intended and Read more …
The Logitech c920 webcam is one of the candidates for providing video streams for the Vision and Video project that I am working on. In particular, the c920 is interesting because it can stream H.264 encoded video from the camera itself. Here’s the video: The Jetson TK1 board has a Read more …
For the vision projects that I’m getting ready to do, I’ll need video streams. There are several ways to get video, but one of the most inexpensive is a webcam. Webcams have been around long enough that support for them is pretty much considered de rigueur. They’re also cheap enough Read more …
Enzotech CNB-R1 be gone! Bring in the big guns and be done with heat sink fiddlin’. After installing an Enzotech CNB-R1 onto a NVIDIA Jetson TK1, the results were a little disappointing. That made me start to wonder, how does the stock fan get better results? While it is a Read more …
A few days ago I installed a Enzotech CNB-R1 Heat Sink onto a Jetson TK1. As noted in earlier posts, with the heat sink installed the Jetson tends to run rather hot. While the high temperature exhibited is during heavy load, it’s still a little disconcerting to be within 10°C Read more …
After installing the Enzotech CNB-R1 Northbridge heat sink, I ran a temperature test using the CUDA Smoke Demo. Basically start up the demo, and take temperature readings over the next 30 minutes or so at 5 minute intervals. At the end of the demo close the Smoke window. Afterwards I Read more …
The NVIDIA Jetson TK1 is a nice development board. With that said, the little CPU fan cooler squeals like a stuck pig. It’s not horrible when you’re in a noisy area like a lab, but if you’re working in a quiet room the whine can be very wearing. I decided Read more …
