Virtual camera device? + possible image file mode?

[krono (k)]

Thanks @NicholasL and @JediJeremy for virtual camera answers. I’ll keep an eye on the forum after v2.0 release to see what users with virtual camera setups report on what’s working before I buy a new camera and try the virtual camera route.

@JediJeremy

We have been working on several ideas to open up the camera system to more external sources. We have already incorporated the ability to talk with HTTP cameras on specific machines, and it would be a small step to generalize that feature, if there is interest.

Nice, looking forward to that!

The dots pattern is symmetric, but tags will not recognize if seen in a mirror. Is the camera in a weird mode? We only figured it out by writing ‘ABC’ on a big piece of paper.

I don’t think the camera is in any special mode. At V1.7.04 Camera calibration issue: April Tags not detected (circles detected) - #3 by krono I have screenshots and also a higher res image captured with the camera outside of LightBurn. As noted there I got OpenCV to detect some april tags in the image but LightBurn detects none. Can you spot anything in that image that might explain that difference?
