CameraControl selecting from multiple cameras

Post by Troy » Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:17 am

I've got a project which uses cameraControl on Windows and Mac desktops. It seems to work pretty well so far, but when a system has multiple cameras connected, how does one create a control from a specific camera?

For instance, I have a laptop with a second USB camera connected. How can I get the USB camera to be the one which is used for the control?

Thanks for any input.

In Jan 2019 I made a sample stack that does what you want.
See there the script of button "startstopCam".

Sample Stacks > IndyCam2_v102
The stack uses moreover optionally an image filter for snapshots, see
