A DLP Projector for my structured light scanner

Compiler/DLP4710EVM-LC: EVM software for ubuntu operating system

Part Number: DLP4710EVM-LC

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello TI,

I am Darshan, Research Assistant, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Recently I bought DLP4710EVM-LC for research purposes. I was only able to find end-user software GUI to control the EVM for windows operating system. Please help me out in finding software for the Ubuntu operating system to control the evaluation module.

Also, help me out in finding libraries to control the EVM using the C++ programming language.

Thanks and regards,

Darshan

    Hello Darshan,

    Welcome to TI E2E forums and thanks for showing interest in the DLP technology.

    The answer for queries are as follows - 

    1. We do not have a software/GUI to control the EVM for the Ubuntu operating system.

    2. Please refer to the following link for C based API which can be used to control the DLPC34XX  based DLP chipset - https://www.ti.com/tool/DLPC-API

    Note - The API is primarily intended to communicate with the controller with a Windows PC. However, the provided source code enables the user to port the API to a different target platform (such as Linux, microcontroller, etc) and integrate the code into a custom solution.

    Regards,

    Mayank

    Hello Mayank, 

    I am trying to port the API to the Ubuntu operating system. I managed to edit the CMake file and did the CMake configuring.

    But, while making it I am getting the error which you see in the screenshot attached.

    please help me out with this issue. So that I can use the library sample program to generate patterns and continue my research.

    Thanks and regards,

    Darshan

    Hi Darshan,

    You will have to make changes in the API source code to enable it to run on a ubuntu system. 

    Unfortunately, we do not have expertise in topics related to changes required to port an API from Windows to Ubuntu.
