Duet Cisco C90 Camera presets bug
Answer
8/21/12 8:04 PM
Anyone ever have a problem with the camera presets on this module.

I am using the CAMERAPRESET_POS command. Works most of the time, but sometimes it seems like when you recall a preset the camera goes to the preset and then move back to almost like a home position. Also presets over the number 10 don't seem to recall back to the exact location that you save them on. Weird.
I have latest firmware in my codec and camera and my module version is
Codec firmware: 
TC5.1.3.292001 
Camera firmware: 
S01718-4.0FINAL [ID:40076] 2012-05-16

Hi Steven,
this sounds more like a camera issue than a module issue. If the camera for some reason looses track of its position it will need to do a position-reset back to a known position (which will be 0 degrees both vertical and horisontal). This has been known to happen sometimes if the preset positions is to any of the extremes. Please try to see if you you can store a position to a less extreme position and to a new preset store. Also if that camera is not connected directly to the codec (e.g. if no 2 or 3 in visca chain) check that it has the lastest firmware. If connected via visca only the 1st camera can receive new camera-firmware from codec.
 
When storing a preset allow the camera to stay in that position for a few seconds before storing the preset. If done too soon after moving the camera then the codec may not have received the latest position info from the camera before it stores the presets, thus the chance of storing an incorrect position. Could this be your case?
 
Cheers,
David
