Video Rotation
« on: January 16, 2008, 02:24:51 PM »
Hello,

I have mounted a 3Com Watchport/V camera on my Sherline 5410 CNC mill. Attachment was done effortlessly with Sherline's Z axis extension. The extension normally uses a 1/4-20 screw and I was able to use this to secure the camera looking down the Z axis.

Because the bottom of the camera is toward the rear of the machine the result is an inverted image.

The Mach3 Video Window plug in allows for the image to be flipped on the X axis to correct for a horizontal mirror image. In order to get my image displayed normally I also need the ability to flip on the Y axis. Both flips are equivalent to a 180 degree rotation which is what I need for the video image to appear normal.
