lxde success

Post by wirepuller134 »

We recently learned about this project, and it looked like something that would solve an issue for us. We presently build and install ccc systems, and do process automation. The ccc work is relatively new, thus we are still gearing up for it. We needed a way to focus and aim the cameras at the camera so it didn't take two people with a radio to do this. I installed lxde with Debian Lenny on one of our laptops. Using an old Zurotech capture card plugged into the laptop in under 2 hours we were able to view a Pelco camera plugged into the card on the laptop. We are now in the process of setting up several laptops to dual boot The lxde environment. All of the laptops are older IBM and Dell systems, we prefer them over newer models because of the drop of support for serial ports. Some of the older Alan Bradley slc's will not communicate through a USB to serial dongle. Thank you to everyone involved you have solved a large problem for us.
