Set Frame Rate

[caiostringari]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to set frame rate via coding? I need only 5 FPS for my applications and every time I start the camera, need to do it manually via FlyCap2 GUI.

Thanks

Hi, I already opened an issue for this (issue #10 ).
Sadly no answer yet.
What I do is I open the manufacturer software flycap2 and in the camera control dialog, I change manually the frame rate as desired.
Not really satisfying.

Thanks Maxine,

This was my workaround as well, but I need something more stable. I switched to a mix of C++ and python, not really pretty but is working better for me.

Cheers

Can you eventually share your mixture or explain briefly ?

Basically it is a python script that writes the C++ source, compiles and runs it. Not the most beautiful thing ever, but works.

Thank you, I appreciate your contribution.
In french we would say "méthode bourrin".
Respect for your pugnacity,
