Hi Lincoln, As I understand, when you are turning on your USB Gadget mode, you have no access to Raspberry OS to make changes. As described in the article, if you switch this secret USB mode, our onboard Ethernet and USB are turned off. I.e. your Edimax dongle won’t work in this case. Here are some ...

I'm glad it works for you!

Well, our StereoPi v2 campaign is live now!
Take a look: https://www.crowdsupply.com/stereopi/stereopi-v2

Fruitjog, yep, there are a lot of commercial solutions, based on stereoscopic vision. They are doing their job fine, but all of them are not hacker-friendly and using a closed commercial hardware/software. So if you are looking for a commercial solution - it's a good way to look at them. But if you ...

Hi Mango, Short answers: 1. You can use a desktop-like environment. Use stock RaspiOS, and just add dt-blob.bin (as described in Wiki) to enable 2 cameras. In this case, you can work like with the desktop computer. 2. Take a look at this post about the physical button to take photos You also say "st...

Hi Rigsson,
We have exactly the same question here: Change the path for video recordings?
Hope this helps!

Wow, Rigsson, what a brutal bullet-proof design!
I'm curious, what is the use case for this extra-robust design?

Hi Alex, Settings in the stereopi.conf file are defaults and used by the system right after the boot. When you are changing them using Admin panel, the last settings are saved to this file. It is better to use the Admin panel for the first experiments. If you need to do some specific settings, you c...

Hi Frivy, To say briefly, StereoPi is compatible with all Raspberry Pi compatible cameras. So you can try to find Pi camera with the features you need. As for the twisted pair style - I was not able to find any Pi-compatible flexible cable ( like this one for Mobius ). You can try to DIY this cable,...

Hello kuehfuss,
If everything goes well, we'll start our campaign within a couple of weeks, and the target shipping time is the mid or end of March.

Hello austinbingham, To start with, we didn't plaid with this option at the StewreoPi. I have a shading fix experience a lot of years ago with ov2643 (and not with Pi, but with TI DM365). As I remember, this table can be written to the sensor itself while initialization. I don't know how it works at...

Hi Oznerol, Points 1 and 3 from your list are doable with no issues. But point 2 (thermal images by USB) is a problem. WIth native (CSI-2) cameras we have extra-fast and controllable data exchange with the cameras, as data goes directly to the GPU memory in a very optimized manner. But for USB you w...

Hi bhammy187,
We are doing our best to prepare the first beta-version for the mass-test. As soon as we got it, I'll publish all information here!

Hi Lucabu, As Stereomaton mentioned, you can capture 2 images at the same time. We have a few similar posts on our forum. The actual difference between the captures at this resolution might be up to a few milliseconds under some conditions, but we were not able to measure it in our experiments (the ...

Hello Ekhan, TeamViewer needs a lot of resources for the video encoding. Also, it does 256-bit encryption for the all video transmitted. I don't know how TeamViewer is encoding video, but it has only 2 ways - either use GPU encoder or CPU. In both cases it affects greatly on the global system perfor...

Hi Sergey,
I hope Stereomaton answered your question. You can also take a look at his article on an external triggering.

Hi stnz,
Sorry for my late reply.
Could you please write me an email to my nickname @gmail.com? I think that the board replacement is a good solution here.

Hello Stnz,
Our experience says, that in 97% cases this problem means a physical connection issue (i.e. camera ribbon cable issue, or a "Sunny" connector on the camera PCN).
Could you please tell us:
1. Which camera model you are using?
2. What is the result of this command:

Hi Angelterra,
If you are talking about image capture for the processing (OpenCV or another approach), you can find some test results in this article in our blog.
Could you please clarify - are you need to get a photo sequence or a video?

Hi season2episode3, Wow, it's a pity you have this trouble with your board. Am I got you right, that after swapping cameras, you can get an image, but from the single CSI connector only? Please also look into the non-working connector, as sometimes a small dust or piece of plastic causing this issue...
