Nicolas Vidals
hello the link to discord chan doesn't work, how can i acces to it ?
Print-Man
Alexander can you DM me the list of materials as well please!
AJ
Can I get this list as well?!
Alexander Jones
ill send them to you on the discord im fairly active on there but you can just add me if you want its mythmaster_

Hey, I'm super excited about the Jarvis and Holomat projects. The gpt assistant code for Jarvis and holomat tutorials are great, the only thing that I'm wondering is if there is a list of the actual items required for the physical holomat setup. Could you please include them as a list on Amazon so I can easily order everything needed and get started? :)
Alexander Jones
nvm it stopped i think
Alexander Jones
bro its just crashes when i try and run it

Can you use cheaper for different projectors for the holomat
Sam R
Why three videos of hand and camera and projector calibration if it can be done with just this holomat3 tutorial?
TheHobbit
Hey! So I think a lot of the issues I am having is due to my projector so I wanted to mimic your setup. Just to confirm the projector you are using is the one linked on your Amazon? (The Fudoni one)
Kane Music
I can't get this to calibrate. I even coded secondary points that offset what I was off and can't get it. Any way to calibrate this or explain how I can alter the code a little bit to make it happen? Thank you!
WhiteBoss Gamer
Can you please send the github link

1) No worries! I enjoyed learning it all and I am excited for whats to come. 2) That makes sense, ill give that a go, thanks! Follow up, looks like I got it all up and running with the 3 current apps. The only issue I have right now is that the hand tracking never seems to quite line with my hand. It always seems up and to the left a little. Ive calibrated a few times and its always the same result. Is it possible that this is due to my projector and camera projecting at a slight angle and I may not have the projector image exactly square?
Kevin Coda
1) Yes, I updated the github to reflect that, but the old calibration code is obsolete. I apologize if you went through the effort, but this is easier and much better. 2) Once it opens on your main machine you could use windows key + arrow left or right to move it over. Then it should consistently launch where you left it. Otherwise you can set the launch location to be x = +-1920 or whatever your main pc is width wise. There is a pygame parameter for that. That would be added to the main function at the bottom of the home_screen.py program
TheHobbit
Hey! Couple of questions. 1) Does the 'hand calibration' make all the code from part two obsolete? 2) How can I set this up to launch on the projector instead of my main display? Do I have to just run my holomat as my main display? Thanks in advance!

This can be found on his amazon page

Any ideas on equipment , like what projector?
Dale
Your GitHub does not have part 3 code yet? Is that right?
