Missing function

Post by bierz »

Hi,

it's a great think to be able to set the LED parameters, how is it possible to red the LED parameters? There is no function out INPCamera::getLED or so. The INPCamera::getOption has no option for the LED's ... Could you please tell me how to trigger the state of the leds of the device? Or perhabs add this function to the next release

THX!

The LEDs in the cameras are write-only, and assumptions should not be made about the state of the LEDs. If you wish, you can keep track of the intended LED state internally and syncronize it on state changes and camera connects and disconnects.

Could you please clarify your request regarding "how to trigger the state of the leds of the device"?

I was looking for a function where I can read or poll the current state of the LEDs. I think the usage of "triggering" was the wrong term. Sorry for that ...

I hope it isn't too inconvenient that you cannot poll the values.

By the way, the method mentioned above is how we implemented LED control for status and illumination in the TrackIR software - it has proven to be reliable and straightforward.

Ok, I think I'll build a workaround for this for my application.
Nevertheless, thanks for your help and advice
