I never really used cameras on a pi before, those were just my go-to things

Hamspiced · January 21, 2025, 1:50pm

I only ever used a picam and it was basically plug and play

Now that I think about it, one of the most ridiculous things about people who believe in aliens is that none of them lament the fact that they weren’t born in a world with a lower concentration of assholes…

For teh Arducam (the pi version) you need to disable the automatic camera detection in the config file

camera_auto_detect=0

Thats 10h im never getting back …

Hamspiced · January 21, 2025, 7:02pm

LOL, that was the issue? it was expecting a Picam?

XEMON · January 21, 2025, 7:07pm

seam like it, even though the chipset is the same …
Now i get data stream out of libcamera. Next i need to pipe it to web page

Always the stupid shit, ain’t it

Anybody happen to know of a way I can get the PM3 client to run in “online” mode without actually having a PM3 plugged in?

paradx · January 22, 2025, 9:55pm

Short answer: yes, you can make the client think it is online.
When you build the software yourself, just modify the IsOffline function to return always false for example.

The question is what good that does. The offline mode is made for all things you can do without having the hardware involved. If you want to try things out you either need something emulating the PM3 or it will fail down the line the first time it waits for a reply or needs some data from the PM3.

Yay, science!

This doesn’t surprise me, and I need a hug.

Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha · January 23, 2025, 12:08am

I really just need to have access to the full menus and help texts

This should be a huge help, thanks!

WingNutLG · January 23, 2025, 12:12am

Totally random (which I think is what this thread is for?), but is anyone else living in NE OH that is planning on installs in the near future? Sounds like Johnross Switz is coming up in March for some other work and I’m having him do a few tougher xseries installs. Just thought I’d throw that out there in case anyone else wants to throw some business his way.

Hamspiced · January 23, 2025, 12:49am

I find it nice to keep it on offline mode as I plug in and swap different PM3 devices for testing

Pilgrimsmaster · January 23, 2025, 2:20am

@paradx, great answer, FYI incase you weren’t aware, Aox made this offline PM3 tool

https://siliconbased.us/pm3/ref/help.php

Allows access to PM3 menus without access to a PM3, which is very useful

Pilgrimsmaster · January 23, 2025, 2:21am

you are 100% correct

Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha · January 23, 2025, 2:26am

I don’t suppose you’d happen to know where the equivalent code is in the RRG Iceman repo?

I was able to find the file, but I don’t see the bool IsOffline() thingie

I do see g_session.pm3_present = false;, which seems promising, but I’m pretty bad at C

Hamspiced · January 23, 2025, 2:42am

I think you can comment out line 931 and it will be fine. Just double slash save and compile

Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha · January 23, 2025, 2:45am

I don’t seem to be able to get that to work

starting the client regularly gets stuck waiting for the PM3 and starting with -o still drops to offline mode
