API takepicture command issue

[dkerber]

I am doing some experimenting with the BYE API, and am having issues with the 'exposures:' parameter of the takepicture command. I am sending (extracted from my application log):

takepicture target:M13 duration:60 iso:800 imagetype:0 quality:raw exposures:2

All the parameters appear to work except the expsoures parameter. I get the correct duration, ISO and image type, but only 1 exposure. This is true even when I change the order of parameters on the command line.

Any suggestions? I couldn't find the log file to attache it; if you tell me where that lives, I'll send it if you think it will help.

Thanks

Send me the log file.

Ok, this is working as expected, the exposures parameters is deprecated, I should update the API.

You need to manage it in your app.  You need to poll (in a loop) the status using the getstatus command and sent subsequent takepicture commands once the status goes from busy to idle.

So it's now a single takepicture call for each frame? And re-send the command for each additional frame? If that interpretation is correct, I can handle that.

Thanks!

Yes, you just need to poll with the getstatus command and send the next takepicture command once the status is idle again.
