hackershackofficial / tracking-turret Goto Github PK

Great project but noticed that there was no link back to the extensive Youtube video to put this work in context.

Would recomment adding this to the readme

Thanks for sharing and putting the video & code together.

hey, i am making this project using your method. when i try to clone the repository from GIT HUB i get the following error
Cloning into 'Tracking-Turret'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
please help me out, give me access to the repository so i can complete the project, i have spent too much time and effort on this up till now.

I'm using a Logitech Webcam (C270) hooked up to the sentry turret. Everything works fine except when I try to actually run the code. The camera feed runs at a decent framerate (20+). But when an object moves into view that is tracked (Ex. Box drawn around it) the framerate is fine for the first 3¬ frames of tracking, and then after that, the framerate tanks to something like 1 frame every 2 seconds. The turret's motors are also slowed. I'm using OpenCV 3.1 right now. How can I solve this issue?
Thanks!

As of March, 2021, Google accounts don't login into Chrome. I cannot
clone the turret repository to my raspberry pi:
git clone [email protected]:HackerHouseYT/Tracking-Turret.git

When trying to run python turret.py

I made sure I followed all of your instructions, via your GitHub README.md, but I still can't get this to work. I did purchase a different motor hat model on accident: http://www.raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/Stepper/Motor/Servo_Robot_Expansion_Board_SKU:418460.

Do you have any recommendations?
