Camera module

James

@alexyak I installed the both modules and here’s some issue need to be solved.

In your readme.md of camera, the sample config code need to add the missing “{}” after config:

                {
                        module: 'camera',
                        position: 'upper_third',
                        config: {
                                selfieInterval: 3,  // Time interval in seconds before the photo will be taken.
                                emailConfig: {
                                        service: 'Hotmail', // Email provider to use to send email with a photo.
                                        auth: {
                                                user: '<name@email.com>', // Your email account
                                                pass: '<password>'        // Your password for email account
                                        }
                                }
                        }
                },

The voicecontrol module run well, it shows tips in the screen and could recognize my voice.
The three voice command works, I didn’t receive any email and I need to say “hide camera” to let the countdown disappear.
Another issue is if I don’t enter some email info, the module seems to be stacked on the screen.
Is there a place I could find the selfie pics in Pi?

Thanks for you and your great modules.

Between the above two error codes, there are several similar code with different “PCM surroundNo.” end (21, 40, 41, 50, 51, 71) like:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.bcm2835.pcm.surround51.0:CARD=0'
ALSA lib conf.c:4259:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory

@James thank you for reporting the bugs. I will try to fix them soon.

The code doesn’t save the photo into the file. The image data base64 encoded is passed from the camera module to the node_helper. I could add this, but am I afraid of filling up the space on the RPI.

Which provider did you configure the nodemailer with?

James

@alexyak Hotmail. And one thing I need to confirm with you is that “email & password” are filled in between “‘’” or “<>”?
