Can not install python ArduCamDepthCamera package on a jetson

[adriaciurana]

Hello, I'm trying to install the python package. Also I already installed the C++ library and works well. But at the moment that I try to install ArduCamDepthCamera package, I obtain the following error:

debian@jetson:~/tof_camera_example/build$ pip3 install ArduCamDepthCamera

Collecting ArduCamDepthCamera
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ArduCamDepthCamera (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for ArduCamDepthCamera

Maybe is not available on the jetson?

Edit: Seems that there are no version for 3.6 on arm64: https://pypi.org/project/ArduCamDepthCamera/#files

Thanks, Adrià

hi, We just tested that it can be installed, but pip needs to be updated to the latest version.

Oh true! Thanks.

One last question, in the C++ version I see that exists two methods setMode and setControl can be used. I don't see the possibility of having access using the python API.

On the other hand setControl when mode=RANGE, how is it different from setMode?

I want to use the 2m mode on python.

Thanks, Adria

hi, This part of the function is available in the 0.0.9 version of the python library.

# Set camera range mode.
set_rang = 2 # or 4
cam.setControl(ac.TOFControl.RANG,set_rang)
# Get frame format information,Contains frame type and frame width, height and timestamp.
format = frame. getFrameFormat();

My pleasure.

Cool! Thank you very much! So nice have this support!

On the other hand I don't know whether to create another issue but I'm finding a curious error that doesn't let me move forward.

I am using a jetson nano with a carrier b01. Along with it I use the tof and I want to use another csi2 imx219 camera (also arducam).

But it is not detected in the system, it does not even appear in the dmesg.

I have the feeling that by installing the tof drivers, the imx219 (which usually works without drivers) becomes incompatible.

I also tried different imx219 cameras and both csi2 slots.

Do you know anything about it? This problem is totally blocking my current work.

Thanks.

It is my pleasure to serve you, Better to reopen a question for a different problem. About imx219 can not be detected, you can refer to the website configuration jetson-io . Configure jetson-io as camera IMX219-A and Arducam-B, A and B correspond to camera interface 0 and 1.
