S/V Nomadness Webcam & Tracker
Status updated Jul 20, 2010 at 14:00 Pacific:
- Camera Status: RANDOMLY ON (depending on mood)
- Tracker Status: OFF (packets not getting seen from location next to metal building and hills)
This image from the Axis 210 camera on the
boat is updated once a minute via Sprint EVDO cellular, passing through
a Cradlepoint MBR1200 router that also provides the on-board net
connection. For further information on Nomadness, please see the introductory walkthrough.
I
haven't done anything clever with the script to deal with the event of
catching it in the midst of a file transfer, so if you see only a
partial image, just wait a few seconds and hit reload. Subsequent
automatic refreshes should then be synchronized with the transfers from
the camera.
I'm
also running a location tracker via ham radio APRS, which displays
my location in real time on a Google map (with all the usual controls
for zoom, pan, satellite view, etcetera), and you can see the
history by adjusting the "show last" pulldown in the upper right. The Nomadness Tracker opens in a new window.
