I'm using a Voxl2 with different 6 cameras connected: stereo front, stereo rear, tracking and hires (sentinel configuration);
generally, trough "voxl-camera-server.config" I can change the cameras settings like name, ID, resolution, fps, exposure/autoexposure settings;
I need to adjust some exposure settings on the hires camera (ov9782) , but on that .config file I don't find exposure settings for that specific camera while they are present for other cameras, I already tryed to copy and paste the parameters from the other cameras but it seems that on the hires they don't do anything, the only parameter that works, is "ae_mode", if I change it from "isp" to "lme_msv" I see some difference, but I don't have any control over that

@robertociuch , 

Just to clarify, sentinel configuration uses imx214 as `hires` camera : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-camera-configs/#c-11-front-stereo-rear-stereo-hires-and-tracking-d0006-sentinel . Can you check what camera you have as `hires` ?

what exposure settings do you need to adjust? if you turn off the `isp` `ae_mode`, then white balance will also be disabled, we typically do not do that on the `hires` color cameras. 

We currently do not provide any tuning knobs for the isp-based exposure control, but it may be possible to adjust some settings, depending on what you need.

@Alex-Kushleyev 

Hi Alex, you're right, I am using IMX214 as hires camera,
If I set off the ae mode I should control the gain and shutterspeed in some way;
If I set the ae mode on (ips or lme_msv) I would need to set the min and max gain, min and max shutterspeed, the desired msv and some parameters to control the speed of the adaptation

is this possible?

thank you so much
