@mark ,
Thank you for running the tests!
Regarding installing resistors without knowing what the function is - not recommended 🙂 . I will look into what this resistor is. Are you saying that after installing this resistor, the issue is not reproducible?
I was going to ask you to do one more test, if you can reproduce the issue. If the issue is indeed at the very low level (the same image is returned for both cameras into voxl-camera-server), then both instances of Auto Exposure algorithm would react to one camera's image changing. So the test would be..
reproduce the issue to get the same image appear in both camera streams, it seems like tracking_front is the one that is being duplicated
note the exposure and gain values, reported in the stats below the images
quickly cover up the front camera (without affecting down-facing camera) and see if the expsure / gain of tracking_down also changes at all.
please note that if the image is indeed duplicated at a very low level, the Auto Exposure algorithm's output for the tracking_down will not actually affect the image (since the stream is from tracking_front), but you should still see some changes while AE is converging after a sudden change. If there is no duplication of the image at the camera server, the AE behavior will not change for tracking_down camera when you cover up tracking_front. I hope that makes sense.
Basically i am trying to figure out if this is a camera server issue or somewhere downstream.
