Valid frame timestamps #160

Closed e-dul-xb closed 3 years ago

e-dul-xb commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to get valid timestamps for frames to later sync with other sensors in my system. Unfortunately ArduCamOutData struct field u64Time https://github.com/ArduCAM/ArduCAM_USB_Camera_Shield/blob/ee32d380bc7a9c1d4306475f9d5e9fb46310ca72/Linux_x86/Cpp/Streaming_demo/Arducam_SDK/ArduCamLib.h#L105 provides some random numbers. Is it possible to get reasonable timestamp in CONTINUOUS_MODE? (Assigning timestamp after reading data from FIFO is sub optimal imho)

BR, ED
