ok thanks

@stuartofmt

happy new year

1-i copied the M3291 macro from the post you made if you have a link to download it from github please provide
2-so the normal operation is the cam will take let say 100 pic and at the end it will make a mp4 video , what setting in the duetlapse.config that ask for that ?
minivideo and max video ?
3-am able to move the head and pause no issue but the camera takes the pic not while the head in pause or moved to the place i asked to be moved to its random so i wonder if am missing a setting in the config

-basedir /home/pi/DuetLapse
-duet 10.0.1.126
-port 8082
-seconds 30
-extratime 500
-minvideo 3
-maxvideo 30
-pause yes
-movehead 10 10
-weburl1 http://10.0.1.110/stream
-camera1 stream
-detect layer
-keepfiles

@stuartofmt

I didn’t know that I need to edit the M3291 I will check that out

One question is the editing of the M3291 will make the camera take the pic when the printer head is moved and paused or it’s another setting because I search for that part in the document but couldn’t find it

i only want it to take the pic while the printer head is moved to postion as in the config and paused

Thanks for your patience

hi

1- my config file

-camera1 stream

the command i use is python3 ./DuetLapse3.py -file DuetLapse3.config
and my command for the videostream as follow
sudo python3 ./videostream.py -port 80 -camera 0 -size 4 -format MJPG -host 10.0.1.110 -rotate 180![Screenshot 2023-12-30 at

i did print a small part and got 100 pic but no video was made , how to turn that on to make a video at the end ? because i see only that i can press on snapshot before the end of the print , how do i change my setting to make a video at the end ? you see this in the log " make video is not running "

another question how can i make the camera take a pic only when the head is moved to the postion in the config file

-basedir /home/pi/DuetLapse
-duet 10.0.1.126
-port 8082
-seconds 30
-extratime 5
-minvideo 3
-maxvideo 30
-pause yes
-movehead 10 10
-weburl1 http://10.0.1.110/stream
-camera1 stream
-detect layer
-keepfiles

@stuartofmt

am looking for these documents how to do that movie because none is created at the end of the print , so i need to change some setting maybe in the Duet
Lapse config file or in the M3291 if you can just point me where to get these info to start to use it right way , thanks

@stuartofmt

great so i have a working system now maybe i should make a youtube short one on my channel to show how to do it , i never found a video explaining ,

now for the pic taken i take that and i put them together with a someftware like final cut to be like a movie clip right ?

another question about the m3291 as i understand this one make the printer take the head away from the printed area and then the duetlapse take a pic right? if yes then this is not working now in my setup unless there is extra setting to activate that in duetlapse.config

@stuartofmt

i finally was able to install opencv ver 4.6.0.66 on it and now video stream works right
now i will try the duetlapse the file you gave me on 20 dec

its like 90% working

and this while printing , there are some errors but i see the images in the dir and it keep coming while printing , even with no printing it keep coming here is my command i used and it worked finaly to install opencv

sudo pip install opencv-python==4.6.0.66

and to make videostream ver 2.1 works with ribbon cam

sudo python3 ./videostream.py -port 80 -camera 0 -size 4 -format MJPG -host 10.0.1.110

now that is a Merry Christmas

@stuartofmt

Merry Christmas

i tried on pc and same exact issues so am back to PI and the ribbon cam will keep trying until you have time

@stuartofmt

is it easier to install the duetlapse on videostream on window 10 ? or a mac ?

@stuartofmt

ok thanks , happy new year to you too
