I have never heard the phrase “runs on the edge”, and the article uses some form of it a half dozen times.
My only results for “edge devices” refer to networking. Is that what they’re trying to say?
It’s usually an IoT (Internet of Things) term that signifies that something runs on the end device. These are hardware constrained devices that would otherwise just send their data somewhere else to be processed, but in this case they’re doing the processing. In this context: Print failure detection is usually done by streaming video from your camera (say a Raspberry Pi with a camera) to some companies’ server, but in this case it would be your Raspberry Pi that’s both a camera and the processor whose output is “print failed” or “print good”.
Article sounds AI written to me.
I can tell you for sure they probably don’t mean this, but it was still my first thought.
Devices like Intel MyriadX inside of a camera would be considered edge devices in this application.
I’ve got an original OakD camera but haven’t tried to use it yet, was a gift at a convention a few years back. Pretty interesting device overall.
Yes. Kind of implying you’d be able to run it on a reverse proxy without undue security considerations.
Don’t have octoprint and not sure I’d be ready for it to abort my prints for me just yet. I use a security camera. Would be nice if it could just screengrab the feed from my desktop and send an email or sms alert if something looked off.
Klipper actually has this built in now - you can setup telegram notifications with snapshots when prints fail or even just at certain layer heights, no need for octoprint or other complex setups if your alredy running Klipper.
On the edge of what? Edge of space?
On the edge of edging.
Hnnng…!
Down anyone know of it works with belt printers? I had it, but it kept restarting some prints that were fine and never detected a failure :(
