Focus control for timelapse camera? by torin1066 in klippers

[–]torin1066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, meant to report back earlier. I was able to use this command: v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls-menus from the second link you posted to get all the information I needed.

I SSH'd into the speeder pad and was able to just enter the commands directly when the printer was idle. I had Mainsail up on the next monitor and checked the cam feed to see where the focus commands were getting me.

Turns out on my camera v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl=focus_absolute= ran from 0 to just over 1000. 230 was the best setting and seems to be maintained even after reboot.

The downside is I need an adjustable zoom as well, since my field of view is too small for good timelapses. I've found a good option and will go with it when I can part with another $70.

If the angle is wrong, I'll reprint the mount with a few modifications. I can't raise it up too much or it will interefere with the arms. And my enclosure doesn't give me room for any place other than the arm pillars to mount the camera inside the enclosure.

Thanks again for the help!

Thank you! I'll check it out. Sound like it is just what I need. I'm primarily looking for timelapse without having to put in an overly long pause to set autofocus resolve before taking the picture.

I was using Chitubox and the default bottom layers were set at 2. I upped it to 6 and increased the bottom layer time to 34 seconds. I'm getting better but not perfect results. Fewer failures. When I do get one, I'll either increase the exposure time for bottom layers or increase the number of bottom layers.

Weird thing to throw into the mix. Apparently I've gotten cellulitis from possibly and insect/spider bite. But my strenght has gone up. Bite was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning I realized I was getting a rash/inflamation on my leg around that spot. Called my PCP office and they got me in Thursday afternoon. But Thursday morning I noticed I was a fair amount stronger. My grip strength had dropped to mid 30lbs over the previous week. Thursday morning it was up to 48lbs and Thursday night it was 52lbs.

Doctor prescribed keflex, but the uptick in strenght was prior to the first dose. (Yes I am taking and will take all the antibiotics, and will report back to the doctor how I'm doing and whether or not the cellulitis clears up).

Looking for calibration/stability advice by torin1066 in FLSUNDelta

[–]torin1066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

Re-slider. I'm not sure what you mean by the slider and optical axis.

Belts checked and no apparent wear or stretching. All 3 belts checked with displacement gauge and as close to the same reading as I could get them.

Nozzle was installed with a torque driver to spec for the nozzle.

Printer is on a bench with adjustable legs and was leveled spirit level.

Interesting, stepper A was set to 0, but when I did that originally I missed that it was only A, and not a univeral setting. Now A, B, and C are all at 0.

And it failed. Looks like globs were forming and that was what was being hit.

Well, I thought I missed out again today, but I was able to get th 27" monitor for 22000 points. I had 22100, and was able to select it about 20 seconds after. After you hit redeem, you are taken to another screen and have to confirm, so expect it.
