I'm implementing some functionality using the Ricoh Theta V device. It is the most basic functionality for the device that I can think of but using the api is so inconsistent, and the device keeps going off after a few minutes.
I just want to take a picture, save to the Android device. That's it.
Here's what I'm doing:
- Connect to the Theta Device over WiFi (Direct Mode)
- Use HttpAsyncClient to make a post request to the device (/osc/commands/execute)
Json for Post
{
"name": "camera.setOptions",
"parameters": {
"options": {
"fileFormat": {
"type": "jpeg",
"width": 2048,
"height": 1024
}
}
}
}
- At the point above it times out or I get this message :
Error Message
{"error":{"code":"invalidParameterValue","message":"Any input parameter or option name is recognized, but its value is invalid."},"name":"camera.setOptions","state":"error"}
- When I do call take picture command directly it sometimes works, but I need the image to be less than 2048x2048 so that I can display it using panoramaGL.
I've tried the code from the "plugin" by importing the sample app as a library and using the HttpConnector to execute commands but the same problem occurs. It works once every 10-20 times, and then would fail the rest of the day after that.
Does anyone have any other resources, or a comprehensive overview on using this device in an Android application. Any resources besides the official api overview because that's not helping at all.
I went through the forum already and no one is talking about the connection timeout issues, so I don't know if the device is faulty, or if this is normal behaviour that everyone has just accepted.
Edit 1: I also have a post on the Forums, and have posted two new updates. The replies still has to be approved before it's visible to public but it can be tracked here.
