Hello everyone, I have a question about the snap shot control. I want to be able to take a picture with a joy stick button push, but only then. It seems the snap shot control will take a picture every so many seconds that you set it to. I don’t want to fill up my hard drive with unwanted pictures. I got everything to work, except it takes pictures on intervals by its self as well. So, anybody know if the interval timer can be turned off in the snap shot control? confused
Easy... Delete the snapshot control and just map one of the buttons in the joystick control to take a snapshot...
Assign the snapshot ControlCommand to a button...
This takes one picture.
Oh Richard wins
quick on the draw!
Both answers are correct, and you can find out more by reading the scripting manual here: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=1003
Thanks for the quick reply, Yes I understand the edit scripts. I have the joy stick, camera and the snap shot controls running. I scripted the joy stick button 1 to ControlCommand a snap shot. That all work fine. All 3 have to be running in order to work. Just setting the joy stick button to take a snap shot without the snap shot control up wont work. The issue is the interval timer. I can’t turn it off and with everything running; it still takes a snap shot without using the joy stick every so many seconds. I can’t find any script edit on the snap shot control and nothing in the camera control for the snap shot function. Thanks for all the help. May be I just not seeing it.
Yeah it will work, that's why I was 2 minutes behind Richard, I was testing it.
Add a camera control Add the joystick control In one of the buttons assign the script command
Pressing that joystick button will take a photo and store it in the specified location (specified location is in the camera settings, by default it is My Pictures/My Robot Pictures
Here's an example project
And the resulting snapshot from my test
Rich, Thanks. I must have did something wrong. I didn’t doubt you all, but just after your first post I tried it and it didn’t work. Don’t know what I did wrong, but you all are correct and its works fine now. Thank you Rich, Richard and DJ for all the quick help. I don’t know what I would do without you all. Problem solved!
Geez Rich, you should pick up the place a little before taking a picture....
Ya @Rich, and hang some pictures on the wall.
