User Note
User Note
1. Make sure you are using USB3.0 cable to connect the camera
2. Run the script with the -i
parameter to specify the camera device. The default is 0
. If there are two cameras on the host, you need to confirm which is the correct Arducam camera and enter the correct camera index.
3. Run the script with the --wait-frames
parameter to specify the number of frames to skip when saving the image
a. On Windows OS, opencv will cache one frame, so you need to set `--wait-frames 2`
b. The first four frames of the camera on Linux OS are invalid, you need to set `--wait-frames 5`
