Dual Stereo only
-
Has anyone had luck running camera server / voxl-streamer without having the HIRES/Tracking cameras plugged in? Even though I disable it in the configuration file in /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf it seems like it MUST be plugged in in order to use the dual stereo feature.

Hi,
If you physically unplug two of the cameras the IDs for the other cameras will decrease to populate the first N IDs. In the normal setup front stereo is ids 0 and 1, tracking is 2, hires is 3, and rear stereo is 4 and 5. If you've unplugged the tracking and hires you'll need to change the rear stereo ids to 3 and 2 instead of 5 and 4 since there will only be 4 cameras. I.E:
{ "name": "stereo_rear", "enabled": true, "frame_rate": 30, "type": "ov7251", "camera_id": 3, "camera_id_second": 2, "independent_exposure": false, "ae_desired_msv": 60, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.600000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 1 }
