Q:
Can this stereo camera hat work with two your 8MP spy cameras?
A:
No, Arducam spy camera cannot work with the synchronized camera HAT as it is hard for us to synchronize the clock of two single spy cameras.
Q:
I am trying to use the AuduCam Stereo Camera HAT with OpenCV but it keeps giving me this error “Load libarducam_mipicamera fail.”
I think that I am missing this link. I fallowed the instructions here
But with one difference I am using OpenCV 4.1.0 does that make a difference? How do I fix this issue？
A:
Please install Arducam library for MIPI cameras from Github:
Hello,
I have two questions:
-
Can I change the camera module on the stereo board? For example the IMX219 autofocus camera or the IMX219 Low distortion camera drop-in replacements. If so can the the autofocus cameras be synchronized?
-
Is it possible to use the multi camera adapter board along with the stereo camera HAT? For example Camera A may be connected to a separate camera and Camera B will be connected to stereo HAT and give access to synchronized stereo cameras?
Hello,
I would like to to plug in Jetson Xavier NX with two camarray HATs:
- connected with two 12MP IMX477 cameras
- connected with four 1MP OV9281 global shutter cameras.
The Camarray HAT requires different firmware for different Image sensors that are not natively working with your embedded systems. Your own OV9281 and OV7251 camera modules won’t directly work with it, and they are not easily interchangeable.Do you have some update regarding this topic? Is there some workaround how to install two drivers and link them with two devices? Many thanks.
