v2024.3.1

First major release in way too long! Includes critical bug fixes for Orange Pi object detection crashing/showing no stream/heartbeat freezing, and a new base Orange Pi image. The new base image boots faster without networking and includes other improvements.

Important

Teams with Orange Pis will need to reflash using the v2024.3.1 image. Make sure to export your settings (and keep a backup somewhere safe) prior to doing this. If you've got a spare SD card, try to flash it instead so you've got a known-good hot-spare.

Important

The Orange Pi NetworkManager interface name changed to "netplan-zz-all-eth" -- make sure to have this selected in the dropdown

Note

Teams not using Orange Pi's probably don't need to update, and base images have not changed so a reflash is not required.

Major changes

• Run resize in CPU to avoid RGA-crash/lockup by @mcm001 in #1287
• Bump orange pi images to v1.33 by @mcm001 in #1276

Other changes

• Bump WPILib to 2024.3.2 by @mcm001 in #1283
• Opencv cal: CALIB_USE_LU and use camera focal length guess by @mcm001 in #1268
• Disable camera orientation option when camera is calibrated by @philltran in #1277

• Set default pipeline idx in PipelineManager constructor by @mcm001 in #1286

• Release letterboxed frame in rknn pipe by @mcm001 in #1289

Full Changelog: v2024.2.9...v2024.3.1

v2024.2.9

Fixes mrcal calibration bug with non-square calibration targets, and implements a incrementally expanding optimization approach to match the behavior of mrcal-calibrate-cameras. We solve first for chessboard pose only, then board pose and pinhole coefficients, then board pose and full camera intrinsics with outlier rejection (but not board warp), and then finally everything.

What's Changed

• Create smoketest mode by @mcm001 in #1264
• Pipe cscore logs through photonvision by @mcm001 in #1260
• Bump mrcal to include solver fixes by @mcm001 in #1265

Full Changelog: v2024.2.8...v2024.2.9

v2024.2.8

Addresses a bug in 2024.2.7 that prevented configs for CSI cameras being saved.

What's Changed

• Fix CSI camera matching by @mcm001 in #1258
