Question about ricoh theta s camera using ptp-ip #17

Hi,Craig, I'm sorry to bother you.

I am a rookie in the direction of robot SLAM. I was recently researching panoramic cameras (ricoh theta s), and saw that your research on this camera on github is quite in-depth. So I would like to ask you, can this camera be triggered using ptp-ip control?

Best regards, Nick

Nick, sorry for the late response, I did not see this question until just now. We have an active community here: https://community.theta360.guide/

Can you put your question in the .guide forum above?

The THETA S can use PTP (MTP) protocol over a USB cable.

TCP/IP will not work over the USB cable. To use TCP/IP, you can use WiFi. However, the WiFi will only be able to stream in motionjpeg

You can get more information here:

There is a ROS package for the THETA S that may be of use to you:
