Camera Frame Controller Node
Type: Connector
Compatible with: Connector Graph
Description:
The Camera Frame Controller Node is designed to display images from your robot's camera directly within the Neutron interface. It receives image data in base64 format and renders it in a designated UI element, providing a real-time visual representation of the camera's view.
Input:
msg.payload
: A string containing the base64-encoded image data.
Output:
- (None) The node does not have any explicit output connections. It renders the received image directly in the associated UI element within the Neutron interface.
Example Usage:
- Add to Interface: Drag and drop the Camera Frame Controller Node onto your Connector Graph.
- Link to UI Element: Connect the node to an Image UI element in your interface.
- Send Image Data: Ensure that your robot's software is configured to send base64-encoded image data to the
msg.payload
input of this node. - View Image: The received image will be displayed in the linked Image UI element.
Important Considerations:
- Image Encoding: Make sure the image data sent to the node is correctly encoded in base64 format.
- Image Size: Large images may take longer to transmit and render. Consider optimizing image size or compression for smoother performance.
- Frame Rate: The node will render each new image it receives. If your robot sends images at a high frame rate, the UI may not be able to keep up, resulting in dropped frames. You can use a Rate Limiting Node to control the frequency of image updates if needed.
