To stream a live video feed from a webcam connected to a Raspberry Pi, a lightweight solution is preferred that allows direct streaming without relying on external services. The goal is to capture and stream video that can be embedded in a website using an IP address as the source in an <iframe>. IP cameras typically use specific software and hardware configurations to achieve this, which can also be applied to a Raspberry Pi setup. Hosting the web page directly on the Raspberry Pi is a viable option, and resources such as the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface tutorial can provide guidance on setting this up effectively.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :wink:

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
