use seperate computer (windows 10) to run watch.py

[caffery-chen]

Hello,

You mention that the watch.py can be run on the other computer. Then I got the error "/dev/null".

Apparently the codes is for the linux system.

Is it possible to run the code in the Windows enviorment?

Oops, right you are. I was assuming Linux when I was trying to check if you have a Raspberry Pi camera, but if you're on Windows or MacOS or anything else, you of course won't have a Raspberry Pi camera.

Hmmmmm... actually, I'm not sure if this will work. I'm still assuming Linux when taking photos. I'm going to have to research how to access the web cam from in Windows. Reopening.

Good Day:
I'm very excited to try this out. I have everything loaded up on a pi at 10.100.7.14 and when I run sudo ./pi_pcm i get the server listining on 12345:
**Using mbox device /dev/vcio.
Listening for commands on TCP port 12345
Terminating with signal 2
**
I have another pi that I'm trying to run the python watch.py on but I keep getting the following error message:

python watch.py -f 27.00 -s 10.100.7.14 -p 12345
Server does not appear to be listening for messages, aborting.
Did you run pi_pcm?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
