Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Yeah a print that actually looks somewhere near normal.. Still a bit of sideways movement though. I've ordered some linear bearings that should turn up in a few weeks and hopefully that will sort out the non linear drag I'm getting on the axis.

The problem I have now is as I'm a newbie on this html and Java script stuff I'm liek a kid in a sweet shop. Every time I read something I look under another stone and there's something else new to learn. My ROV front end has got more and more complex then back to basics and I think a clear simple o...

what a nightmare this has been.. I would strongly not recommend a Makibox for anyone that isn't willing to put a lot of time in to getting it to work. It is a pretty poorly designed bit of kit.. I have eventually got a print out of it ... but the prints were slowly sloping to one side... back tot ad...

Ha as long as I get there in the end I'm happy... Life work and stuff do get in the way so I can certainly see why the scientists in days of old locked themselves in basements for weeks at a time... You could also argue if you have the other sensor data on board then why not show it.. But it would s...

I had an unfortunate incident though and cracked my end cap so I'll need another one of them...

z orders did the trick... thanks My next head ache is sizing... my ipcam is 640 X 480 so my iframe is 640 X 480. But I want this to be in the middle of the screen so that if the screen being used is smaller or bigger then the ipcam output is still normally size/ratio. I can auto size the canvas as t...

Thanks for the ideas... Rethinking it I don't need to actually imbed it an over lay will do perfect thanks..... I hadn't really realised the Z order of things but now I'm reading up on It, it does indeed look like I may be able to have the Iframe set behind the canvas and still. I shall have a play....

A good find there...thanks...
