In reply to nevent1q…xhfq
_________________________

oh, and that jetson we have? what's running on it?

I have no clue!!

and I'm the one with the most knowledge of what's on it!!!

because it was set up by the old software team, and there is zero documentation on it that I can find.

for the longest time we never even had a backup of it, so if the disk failed or the jetson died, we wouldn't have been able to recover it!

so, I took a disk image of the entire thing, so that if it does fail then I can either write that image back to another nvme ssd, or I can mount the disk image in order to figure what files were changed and I can restore them piecemeal

but for all I know there can be some magic critical service running that I know nothing about

In reply to nevent1q…awad
_________________________

now, the reason they were attempting this insane solution was because previously the entirety of the old software team had left so there had been zero knowledge transfer between them

well, I (much later) find out what the old solution was. which was even worse.
so, first, they opened a remote desktop connection on the jetson (which, yes, means that we're running X11 on the rover. I hate every part of it.)
next, they started up a node.js web server. then they opened up chrome and opened a page on the web server (written in angular btw). in chrome, they shared the camera *as a webcam*, which the node.js server would stream to another page in chrome on our base station.

yes, really.

In reply to nevent1q…0qyk
_________________________

here's a few more awful things I forgot about last night:

so, since this is a rover which needs to operate remotely, we need cameras on it, right?
well, when I arrived their solution was to use the official ROS usb_cam package for streaming the video over ROS. this means that it will attempt to resend any dropped messages (e.g. if we lose connection), which, like, is *not* what you want. what you actually want is to just stream it over udp and you only care about the latest frame.
however, because streaming raw video is not a good idea, they used the compression setting

whiiiiiccchhhhh uses png for every frame.
running that would cause our ssh connection to die because it brought the cpu of the jetson to 100%, so we had to force a reboot.

so, I took one look at this, and immediately just decided to hack together something with gstreamer and v4l2 to use the hardware encoder on the nvidia jetson over the course of like half a week. it was not that hard. (though some of that code is dogshit, but whatever)

also, I don't particularly need, nor care, about support for windows

this will run exclusively on linux. specifically, ubuntu 24.04 (and then personally for development I use arch with nix, but everyone else uses ubuntu 24.04, either dual booted or in a vm)

this *is* kinda hobby/diy stuff (well, it's for a club), but switching off ROS isn't really an option

and tbh even if I *could* completely greenfield everything, I'd still likely go with ROS because of how much easier it makes many things, even if I really *really* dislike the way it does certain things

I don't particularly want to use an entire game engine

a few reasons:<li>I don't like black-box-y stuff, and game engines are very black-box-y (i.e. how they magically do variable binding between things, etc.)</li><li>I am going to need to integrate it with ROS</li><li>ROS's build tool is kinda a clusterfuck, and you kinda need to use it.</li><li>I don't need like 95% of the features a game engine offers, I just need to render a 3d scene without wanting to pull my hair out from doing opengl/vulkan calls directly</li>

my project has to be in C++, so the libraries have to be in C++ (or C, but I'd prefer C++ libraries as they can use things like classes which make stuff nicer)

a rust library with c ffi might be like.. *alright*, but there will be a lot less documentation for using it, and all features might not be supported.
I also need to be able to use it without too much difficulty with cmake

using rust with ROS is, uh, kinda a clusterfuck to put it lightly.
ROS does a lot of things Differently
as an example, everything uses their build tool, colcon, which will then build things using whatever python does, cmake, cargo, etc.
or ROS heavily relies on messages definitions which are then used for codegen. and those message definitions need to be resolved from system libraries.

there are some libraries for ROS that are trying to add support for rust, but, well, it does not look very nice lol

tbh the fact that nextcloud is completely unwilling to take after owncloud and implement a high performance golang backend for some of the more core things is really dumb

like. nextcloud performance is absolutely abysmal. it *really* needs to be better, yet they won't consider moving off of php

and tbh the bad performance is also likely due to architecture reasons rather than just because it uses php, but rewriting portions of it in go also gives you the chance to improve the architecture
