Limelight Installation

Imaging

Limelight imaging is a very similar process to Gloworm, but with extra steps.

Base Install Steps

Due to the similarities in hardware, follow the {ref}Gloworm install instructions <docs/installation/sw_install/gloworm:Gloworm Installation>.

Hardware-Specific Steps

Download the hardwareConfig.json file for the version of your Limelight:

  • {download}Limelight Version 2 <files/Limelight2/hardwareConfig.json>.
  • {download}Limelight Version 2+ <files/Limelight2+/hardwareConfig.json>.

:::{note} No hardware config is provided for the Limelight 3 as AprilTags do not require the LEDs (meaning nobody has reverse-engineered what I/O pins drive the LEDs) and the camera FOV is determined as part of calibration. :::

{ref}Import the hardwareConfig.json file <docs/additional-resources/config:Importing and Exporting Settings>. Again, this is REQUIRED or target measurements will be incorrect, and LEDs will not work.

After installation you should be able to locate the camera at: http://photonvision.local:5800/ (not gloworm.local, as previously)
