Remote cotrol works no lag, but Collision Avoidance didn't and lag

[RyanC1681]

Hi, that is nice video. I tried to use separate USB power for motor as yours JetBot. Remote control did work with no lag, However, the live_demo for Collision Avoidance - Variable "prob_blocked" mostly > 0.9, camera output lag and my JetBot keep 360 spin, not forward. Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks,

mbot2 didn't show blue/yellow control, but Max Linear/Rotation Spd bar only. Anything missing?
Thanks,

Hi RyanC1681,

KineticJs is no longer maintained and it doesn't work well on Chrome.
Please try following methods:

1. Try other browsers.
2. Forget mbot2 brother... I just update a new GUI named mbot3, try it, I think you will like it...

Hi RyanC1681,

For the first questions.
Yes, I met the same issue weeks ago. I put Jetbot on the glass and prob_blocked always > 0.9, so I guess maybe the shadow reflected on the glass affected the camera, then I spread a sheet to the glass and Jetbot works well.
Also, you can raise a new issue to Nvidia official Websit for help.

Hi,
I tried mbot3 that did have better UI, but it got error as below: with known good camera.
How should I fix it?
Thanks,

Never mind, I figured out that was power issue.

Hi RyanC1681,

Good news.
BTW, you can also run mbot programs on laptop or PC with USB camera on it, since camera_opencv.py supports most USB webcams and laptop cameras.
