Lepton v3.5 FFC control #18

Open nadavzil1 opened 3 years ago

nadavzil1 commented 3 years ago

Hi guys, thank you for the great work! Is there a way to control the Lepton 3.5 FFC with your library? I need to set the FFC mode to manual (so it won't happen every 3 minutes or 1.5 celsius but only when I call it). I would also like to change the number of integrated frames.

All the solutions I found online require programming in C which I don't know. Hopefully your project will finally solve my issue.

Right now no, but this might be possible in Python using the UVC extension unit. But integrated frames you could always do in software, just do a median of however many you like?

@nadavzil1 are you using a breakout board, or a PureThermal adapter?

Any chance to add the manual fcc operation for Lepton 3.5 sensors? I am using PureThermal Mini adapter.

Sorry, this still isn't supported and I don't think will be without some serious investment in a libusb wrapper (see above) which I don't have time for at the moment. It's not trivial due to the way the PT2 sends commands to the camera (and how we can wrap that in Python)
