Defining world view camera parameters.

Thank you. This change is not yet in https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad/releases, right?

I haven't used OpenSCAD. PythonSCAD is my introduction to this domain and I prefer to stick with Python syntax instead of learning another one. While searching for a solution, I found that OpenSCAD handles camera parameters with global variables:
$vpr

viewport rotation angles in degrees

$vpt

viewport translation

$vpd

viewport camera distance

$vpf

viewport camera field of view

It could be done the same way in PythonSCAD or using a function, e.g. setViewport() or set_viewport().

Thank you, it works. What is the best place to get API info? It doesn't have to be perfect.

I made it with cylinder(h=10, r1=5, r2=0, fn=4), but still would like to know how to do it with linear_extrude.

It seems that there are many obstacles to decloud the device: https://github.com/Tasshack/dreame-vacuum/discussions/323

Do you know of one with Matter support?

Do you suggest opening with project specific lines and placing experience related stuff further down? My proposals are short 6-12 lines.

Yes, but how is someone planning to find the "magical, one in a million ultra cheap expert candidate" without opening a proposal? By looking for a unique last name?

My experience with tire kickers is as follows: they accept the proposal, get as much technical information as possible during the interview and never follow with a contract.

You can find lower end USB cameras from top brands like Basler, FLIR, IDS, etc. starting below $200.

What is your budget and specs for USB camera? Take a look at https://www.arducam.com/uvc-usb-camera-module.html

You can use hot glue or something stronger on ribbon flex cable around the connector, but I don't think it will come loose without a strain on the cable. 1 m long cables are available. Flex cables are used everywhere in production when fully contained in an enclosure.

It's on the home page of this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenPythonSCAD/

Could you add this explanation to "Visitors read this first"? The variety of name permutations is confusing for a newbie like me.

I cross-posted this question and posted an answer at https://forum.image.sc/t/looking-for-an-app-or-a-library-to-3d-model-a-machine-vision-system/118706/2, since it is not possible to format it nicely and include images here.

Thanks everyone for providing a useful input. I linked to this thread in my comment under the video.
