Hello, 
I have a problem with the feeder type "ReferencePushPullFeeder". 
Built-in pipeline used in "Auto-Setup with Camera at Pck Locaton" It's not working well for me and I wanted to change it. 
Unfortunately, choosing the option "Edtpipelnie" and changing it to the values I want and saving - the pipeline returns to the "factory" settings. This happens either after the first use "Auto-Setup with Camera atPck Locaton" . 
 Should it be like this? 
The description of the "edit pipeline" button states that the changes will be applied to the entire feeder vision recognition. 


Thank you for your help. Regards.

The auto setup operates by trying your existing pipeline first, but if that doesnt work it tries several other stock pipelines. The "auto" logic is that hopefully one of the stock pipelines will be right.

I have no opinion on whether that logic is right or not, but thats how it works at the moment. Does that explanation help?

I understand, but the problem arises because I have feeders close together and the machine detects holes from another feeder. That's why I wanted to use Affinewarp and limit the field of view. However, after using the automatic device, the pipeline I set changes to a standard one. Is it possible to save my pipeline permanently like in regular feeders (ReferenceStripFeeder)?

Thank you for your help.

My default pipeline is as attached. Is it correct? Where do these values come from? Is there a way to change them so they don't revert to the default? I'd like to change just one value permanently, but it keeps going back to the default. 
Please help. 



Regards.

Hello, does anyone really know the answer? Furthermore, after using auto setup, the assigned actuator number changes to a seemingly random one. Please help.

I'm hoping another user who is familiar with the PushPullFeeder visual
setup can help out here. I use PushPullFeeder, but without vision.

Having a "Auto-setup will try other vision pipelines if needed"
checkbox makes some sense to me, but I am not at all familiar with how
this is supposed to work. ThePoll100, how are your java skills?
Interested in contributing some code for this?

I use the PushPullFeeder with vision, but rarely use the auto-setup. I did use it in the beginning, and if I remember correctly, you have to input pick Z and tape size with feed length before doing the auto setup.
Once you have it setup, do you also have issues during runtime?
