DIY Laser levelling using webcam and laser level

[devmonkey]

Sasquatch,

I haven't got one myself but this laser looks very promising with a glass cylindrical lens.

Will integrate your resolution changes when I get time.

I've committed a change so that it determines the maximum native resolution of the camera and uses that, please test.

You're a star Joe.
But it defaults to 640x480 on SJ4000. "proper" webcam could be working ok, although windows10 camera app detects it as 1280x720(max video output for sj4000)
Saying that, SxrosCamera by default don't support anything above 640x480, hence you have to define custom dimensions for higher resolutions.
It defaulted to maximum resolution supported by SxrosCamera without custom dimensions defined.
Cheers Les.

So we can't make it automatically pick the max resolution? If we pick the wrong one presumably it crashes the driver? I don't have a higher res camera to test with.

Edit
Ok so it looks like Sarxos is using a driver on Windows that doesn't do resolution detection, are you using windows? We could change it so that we force a specific driver per platform but then it becomes a bit of a nightmare to package. Will have to have a think.
