  • OAk-d fails when used in parallel with another usb3.0 camera.

I am using a basler dart usb camera along with oak-d for my application.
Both the cameras work fine when run one by one.
But when i try to run both of them together, oak-d fails with error:
RuntimeError: Communication exception - possible device error/misconfiguration. Original message 'Couldn't read data from stream: 'video' (X_LINK_ERROR)'
and
sometimes it fails to boot.

I am not using any of the oak functionality. I am just using the 4K camera. Any way i can surpass the whole pipeline thing and use it just as a plain usb camera (with v4l2)?

    shrinand Did you try to run them both from the same script, and that results in the error? v4l2 is not supported on the device. One alternative to XLink would be to use UVC (aka webcam) - could you try that out?
    Thanks, Erik
