Rpi3 and Raspicam (CSI) issues

IKS

@roxette, I don't quite remember. I would think both 🙁

Just tested with a Raspberry pi 3B and a pi cam 2.1 using Emteria 6.1. i actualy get the QR code on the screen only it just wont scan. nothing happens, no crash no scan, it just sites there.

@IKS, @BasicItStuff ... thanks for testing.

Too bad it doesn't work because i was planning to purchase a cam module with an adjustable-focus :neutral:
Regarding that cam in the above link, how can the focus be adjusted?
Manually or motorized?
Because i have read the manual which doesn't mention anything about that.

Mine is manual, this is probably also manual I would guess. Normally they're about 15 to 25 dollar/euro/pound.

I think the term "adjustable-focus" was bit misleading.
What i wanted is a motorized auto focus camera for my RPI3,
After i read your comment I thought it doesn't even exist but fortunately i found it. :smile:

It seems that it's still a prototype/ demo but i believe if it was proven to work properly then it will replace the cam modules that exist nowadays.

What i like about it that you can adjust the focus remotely.

The demo needs python-opencv to make it work, i dunno if it can work on Emteria or not though.

I tried on my App to work with CameraX. Surprise that works.
