Hello everyone,
I am developing an object detection application for CtrlX using a Basler camera. The application works fine on my Windows environment; however, when I deploy the app to the CtrlX app build environment, it throws the following error:
No Basler camera detected!
I am using the pypylon library to interface with the camera, but I am unable to detect the Basler camera in the CtrlX app build environment.
Steps Taken:
I am using Flask to create a simple web interface to stream the video from the camera.
The Basler camera is successfully detected when running the app on Windows.
However, when I deploy the same application to CtrlX (using an SSH connection to the app build environment), the app cannot detect the camera and reports the "No Basler camera detected" error.
I can ping the camera's IP address from the CtrlX app build environment, so the network connection seems fine, but it still does not detect the camera.
Relevant Code:
Here’s a snippet of the relevant code I am using to connect to the camera:
from pypylon import pylon # For Basler Camera
# Initialize the camera
tl_factory = pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance()
devices = tl_factory.EnumerateDevices()
if not devices:
print("No Basler camera detected!")
exit(1)
camera = pylon.InstantCamera(tl_factory.CreateFirstDevice())
What I’ve Tried So Far:
Ensured the camera is connected via Ethernet and I can ping the camera’s IP address from the CtrlX environment.
Verified the pypylon installation in the CtrlX environment.
Tried various network settings and ensured that the camera is properly configured to be accessible via IP.
Questions:
Is there a specific configuration needed for Basler cameras to work within the CtrlX app build environment?
Should I use a different method to access the camera in this environment?
Are there any additional libraries or settings needed for network-based camera detection in CtrlX?
I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to solve this issue.
