Problems installing camera_control - SOLVED

[NadineKGut]

Hi All,

I followed the instructions to install the camera software. The only difference is that I am using a basler camera, so I used pylon viewer to make sure that there are no specs on "auto".

I had some trouble in the installation process, I will document it here in case someone runs into similar issues:

• Installation did not work: I had to disable the Microsoft store trying to install Python (even though it was already installed)
• tisgrabber.dll could not be found: I edited tisgrabber.py to provide the full path to the tisgrabber.dll
• cv2 not found: installed OpenCV using pip
• ffmpy not found: installed using pip
• nidaqmx not found: installed using pip
• Camera_details.json was not created: made sure to run write_camera_details.py in the anaconda prompt

I have not tested the software yet with my cameras, but the GUI now opens. Thank you for sharing the camera_control!
