`capture_2d` not working

[YBachmann]

Hi :)

I just noticed that the sample script basic/capture_2d_image.py does not work as expected.

• The first time I run it after powering on the camera (Nano Ultra GL), it enables the projector and successfully captures a 2D image.
• If I run the script again, it always outputs the same image again and does not activate the projector.
• Only after I run the script basic/capture_depth_map.py will capture_2d_image.py output an updated 2D image. However it will output the 2D image of the time the depthmap was captured and not of the time the capture_2d_image.py was run.

To me it seems that capture_2d_image.py only captures a new 2D image if no image is already "cached" inside the camera.

I would like to capture 2D images continuously using the python SDK. Is there already a way to do that? Also, what is the framerate when only capturing 2D images?

Sorry for the late reply. If you do not get the expected results using capture_2d_image.py, you can check the camera logs after running the script to see if there are any corresponding photo-taking log outputs. If the camera indeed only responded to one photo-taking request, you can contact our technical support team to pinpoint the issue.
Additionally, we currently have a script for continuous photo-taking. You can find capture_periodically.py in the /advanced folder, and using this script will allow you to continuously take photos with the camera. the duration of continuous photo-taking and the interval between photos need to be specified within the script. Currently, the default settings are 5 minutes for the duration and 10 seconds for the interval between photos.
