  • IMX462 on branch imx283 does not stream anything on FFP3 USB

Hi,

coming from this thread: OAK-FFC-3P Simultaneous Streaming - Luxonis Forum

I would want to stream with the IMX462. In your documentation, it says I should go on branch imx283 in depthai-pyython. I did that, but it does not stream anything. I tried on of the examples. I connected the cam to all of the ports, but none worked. I tried CAM_A,, CAM_B, CAM_C.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks!

    Hi BenjaminKiefer
    Checkout to the latest develop branch, the IMX462 support should be fixed there. I checked.

    Thanks,

      Thanks for your reply, but it does not work for me unfortunately.

      I ordered the IMX462, which I think I'm using. When I run any of the scripts (e.g. Examples/rgb_video.py), it says:

      [14442C10D15CCBD600] [2.5] [3.126] [ColorCamera(0)] [warning] Unsupported resolution set for detected camera IMX296, needs 1440X1080, defaulting to it

      So, it "detects" a 296, is that expected behavior?

      Independent of that: Every branch I tried (main, develop, production_imx296, imx283) just hangs at

      inRgb = qRgb.get()

      Did I mess up installing anything? For other cameras the same conda environment and git work fine.

        Hi BenjaminKiefer
        My steps:

        1. git checkout develop
        2. python examples/install_requirements.py - actually had to go a couple of commits back since the wheels were not prebuilt for the latest version. (152bd06f0ad264a72842416775d1090062a45744 - the one I used)
        3. Profit

        Hope this helps,

          Hi @jakaskerl,

          that worked, thanks a lot!

          Just for information:

          Having the IMX462 in the 4-lane MIPI and two IMX477 in the 2-lana MIPI slots works. That's a setup I'm happy with.

          But for reference:

          For two cams only:
          IMX477, IMX462 both connected to 2-lane MIPI does not work:
          [14442C10D15CCBD600] [2.5] [4.286] [system] [critical] Fatal error. Please report to developers. Log: 'PlgSrcMipi' '1004'

          IMX462 in 4-lane MIPI and IMX477 in 2-lane MIPI has weird lines:

          An additional note (also posting this in a new thread to be more tidy):

          The IMX462 is a low-light camera. In various tutorials, it is shown that it can work in very low light conditions, e.g. this or this.

          However, when I'm using it outside at night, it has very poor low-light performance (almost black image, it's not worth posting a screenshot even). I compare it to another low-light camera (Sionyx Nightwave), which is miles better.

          I played around with rgb_camera_control.py, adjusting ISO, exposure time,… but nothing helped.

          I suspect that it might be a misconfigured or incomplete driver integration, could that be? Alternatively what else I'm missing?

          Thanks!
