#apertus IRC Channel Logs

good morning!

hi

hi RexOrCine

Here? Not ideal. Doesn't look like the film is happening. Just been sent screenshots of a conversation I was having with someone about the camera four years ago. The golden days "Just around the corner" etc... awww.

morning folks!

alex pushed a few additions to raw2dng last night, I tested the pipe/parameter issue https://lab.apertus.org/T1201 and closed it after confirming the fix

(11:18:02) se6ast1an: what film? < There was supposed to be another film happening. Following on from the last one. But because of everything it's not happening at the moment.

is that so? please elaborate ...

Or Seb...

yes

yep, welcome!

we can move to a private channel if you prefer German :)

(the issue appears on both)

ok

currently I get no image at all (with the shogun flame)

well, that mostly means that the sequencer is working

i.e. frames are captured and an image is sent to the plugin

when I connect a computer display (instead of the shogun) I get an image

ok

yes

up to now I just booted and ran ps aux

please paste the output on some pastebin and the link here

it seems empty...

if you look at the image here: https://wiki.apertus.org/images/7/76/ABCS_00-PB-002-_ABDK_Power_Board_V0.30R1.0_Show_V2_1150.jpg

it should be relatively easy to see from the side

perfect, so that is normal then

./rf_sel.py A

assuming power board version 0.30

and now the i2cdetect line again

that is a problem

./rf_sel.py B

the table is also unchanged

ok

did the camera auto start when you powered it on?

it autostarted

systemctl disable cmv12k.service

but you will still be able to logon as usual

power down the beta (shutdown -h now)

the blue led is still flashing, that is ok?

ok

should be four nuts, two on the plugin holder, two on the microzed itself

should I do it while the beta is running?

for the test, you run:

./prep_icsp.sh

and then:

i2cdetect -y -a -r 2

https://pastebin.pl/view/3578fe4b

./icsp_id.py A

okay, that is looking good

that too

./rf_sel.py B

./icsp_id.py B

I put all the three command responses into one pastebin

so the hardware seems to be fine here

yep, all looking good

./kick_manual.sh

does it matter whether a computer display or the shogun is connected?

ok

okay, I presume that:

i2cdetect -y -a -r 2

correct

then, while I check it, please run the following:

./prep_icsp.sh

i2cdetect -y -a -r 2

hmm, that's interesting

let's try the following:

./prep_icsp.sh

i2cdetect -y -a -r 2

yes

i.e. just put a '#' in front of the command

ok, done

now let's run the ./kick_manual.sh again

s/is/are/

no error, enough lines in the pastebin?

perfect

check the HDMI image for quality

the shogun might require a specific setup to work

also, exposure seems correct now (before it was quite overexposed)

well, I still wonder where this one line came from

what resolutions does the shogun you use support?

does your computer screen report what it receives?

I get resolution and hz (1920x1080 54.1khz 48hz) not sure if this is helpful

let's do a few checks on the config then

ok

ll cmv_hdmi3.bit

I remember talking about the SHOGUNp24 option

okay, let's edit the setup.sh and replace the SHOGUNp24 with 1080p60

(maybe the 1080p60 is already there as well and commented out)

and once that finishes, ./kick_manual.sh again

shall I try the SHOGUN option?

yes, give that a try

great! so everything fine now?

yes

you can change or remove it easily

clear overlay:

thank you

you can also add that line to the startup script if you want to make it permanent

ok, regarding startup: shall I reenable the cmv service we disabled earlier?

(the overlay)

systemctl enable cmv12k.service

shutdown -r now is fine

sometimes the image "jumps" slightly though this doesn;t interrupt recording via shogun. I'll observe how this behaves...but for now this is already a vast improvement

might be that your model (which we haven't tested yet) requires some tuning

as the shogun is a proprietary device, we have no feedback from that end except for the test results

you can try if you see a difference:

ok

and yes I can notice a difference

you should be able to see it easily

ah, perfect

ok. thanks for the support. I'll test the different values.

You are welcome!
