How to access the camera
1. install the v4l2 python module
for python 3.x:
After you type the following command and press【Enter】, it will take several minutes to finish downloading.
Note
The V4L2 of Python3.x has a known bug that requires a manual fix, and the following error occurs when you import the v4l2 module into Python3.x:
You can refer to this link to fix this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-v4l2/+bug/1664158
2. Download the demo code
3. Check whether the camera is detected
4. Check the video format supported
5. Display images in real time
If accessing Jetson via remote software (e.g., MobaXterm), the following command (executed only once) is required to display the image.
Enter program directory:
Example as OV2311 Stereo Camera:
#RAW8
#RAW10
GREY for RAW8 and Y16 for RAW10.
-width and -height indicate the width and height of the input image.
–fps means to display the current frames. If you don’t want to display frames, you can remove this command parameter.
For example, execute the following command:
The command line will refresh the display of frames in real time.
Press Ctrl+C to exit image display.
Note
Display resolution settings may affect the frames displayed.
Switch Composition Mode
Arducam Team has released the channel-switch function on specific Quad-Camera kits. You can refer to the following guide to switch the Composition Mode.
Check I2C node
You can input the following command to check if your camera kit supports switching the composition mode.
user:~ $ i2cdetect -l
i2c-1 i2c bcm2835 (i2c@7e804000) I2C adapter
i2c-22 i2c bcm2835 (i2c@7e205000) I2C adapter
i2c-0 i2c i2c-22-mux (chan_id 0) I2C adapter
i2c-10 i2c i2c-22-mux (chan_id 1) I2C adapter
If you get some messages as above, then you can continue the following steps:
Detect I2C signal
Take i2c 10 node as an example
Select the Channel:
Example:
# Set to single channel 0
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x02
# Set to single channel 1
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x12
# Set to single channel 2
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x22
# Set to single channel 3
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x32
# Set to double channel (single channel 0 and single channel 1)
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x01
# Set to double channel (single channel 2 and single channel 3)
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x11
# Set to four in one mode (Default)
i2cset -y 10 0x24 0x24 0x00
Function Test
Single-channel test:
After setting the channel, you can directly use the gst-launch-1.0
command to capture images.
Dual-channel test:
Note
By default, the quad-camera kit works in synchronized 4-channel mode, and NVIDIA Jetson recognizes the whole kit as one camera Any manual focus or camera control adjustments (exposure/gain/white balance/etc.) will also be applied to 4 cameras at the same time.
If you encounter any problems when using the camera kit, please directly contact support@arducam.com for help.
