EmixamPP commented 1 year ago

I've published a new release with an improvement that should fix your issue.

However, the support of distributions package has been dropped. Please uninstall your current version, and follow the new installation instructions of the README.

I have the same web cam mentioned above

Ok so the fix I made worked. But it doesn't seem to configure the camera.

Honestly, I don't really know what else to do. Maybe, the v5 which will introduce the exhaustive search of all possibilities, will be able to configure the camera. But I still haven't started the development, and I can't give you a date.

EmixamPP commented 1 year ago

@rdeng4 you should also try the 4.5.0, we never know :crossed_fingers:

rdeng4 commented 1 year ago

Hi, just tested quickly and I had the same result as @svenmang2 . Thanks for the work :smile:

EmixamPP commented 1 year ago

Hey, I'm coming back to you with a new version that might be able to configure your camera.

The installation method has changed, I no longer maintain a deb package, but a unique tarball. There is a comment from a bot in pull request https://github.com/EmixamPP/linux-enable-ir-emitter/pull/121, the installation instructions for this pre-version are specified in it.

To configure your camera, run the command sudo linux-enable-ir-emitter -v configure -l -1, and past the output here. This runs a fully exhaustive automatic configuration. If the tool thinks it has detected that the transmitter is blinking, it will ask you to confirm. Please ensure the room is well lit.

This can be a long process, but, since all you have to do is confirm whether it works, you don't have to be in the terminal all the time. You can let it search on the side, and cross your fingers, because this time (unless there's a bug in this pre-version) the tool will try everything it can try. And as a result, I don't think I'll be able to make a future version that will activate your emitter.

If the transmitter is flashing and the terminal hasn't asked for confirmation, you'll have to switch to manual mode with -m.

If you no longer wish to configure your infrared camera, no problem, please just close the issue.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately my Lenovo ir camera was lost when I moved, so I have no hardware to test on. I'm sure it will help other people out there though. Thanks for sharing again.
