Hi! It seems like RPi has been updating things that have been breaking things, and yall have been doing a good job scrambling to update your versions of the libcamera picamera2 libraries for the Arducam 64
One thing i needed for a problem I am working on with the Arducam is that I want to be able to READ what the current focus the camera gets set to. After lots of troubleshooting (and ddisable_touchscreen=1
in the config.txt) i got the camera working and can manually set the focus using the LensPosition control in python.
BUT i want to be able to READ what the current focus the camera had been set to before was (especially after an autofocus) so that I could do things like increment the focus slightly toward or away from what it had been focused to.
I noticed when I did a printout of the metadata there is nothing i can poll about the lensposition or focus.
Is there a call i can make to the controls to READ the focus level? Thanks!
