Good day! I am currently building a printer enclosure featuring octoprint, and I have problems controlling my webcam setting through SSH. I am not a great Debian programmer, I mostly follow online instructions and those have given great advice for my second printers C920 Webcam in the past. But this time I got myself another Webcam, one with an integrated LED from JIGA. A amazon link to the cam:
Now I tried the same commands as with the C920 through SSH being:
uvcdynctrl -s "Focus, Auto" 0
but this gives me an: ERROR: Unknown control specified.
So i checked with uvcdynctrl -c and focus is indeed not listed.
Similar problems with
sudo v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=focus_auto=0
So i would be like "oh well, my webcam does not support the focus to be controlled in code, but i found a way using guvcview in some forums, said to enable additional commands to my cam. After installation however, if i do "sudo guvcview", I get a large error that i cant seem to resolve by myself as I lack experience. error.zip (1016 Bytes)
So my question: Am i missing something obvious here or is the answer just that i really should have just gotten another webcam that supports focus commands?
I appreciate every answer!
