Re: [Elphel-support] Elphel NC353L-369 Master - Slave external triggering

Ahh, so the middle two wires shouldn’t be crossed. No problem, thanks for the 
clarification. I am going to get right on it and report back.




Have a great day,

Jan Blazicek.

Re: [Elphel-support] Elphel NC353L-369 Master - Slave external triggering

2015-04-21 Thread Jan Blažíček
Thank you very much Oleg, everything seems to be working, although it did 
require a bit of fiddling. I had a couple of times where the slave camera 
didn’t display any new frames, but didn’t stop responding either - things like 
the histogram in the web CCI would suggest the frames were actually getting 
processed.




That’s all sorted out now though, I’d post a solution for others, but it seemed 
to randomly fix itself when I reseted the parameters and repeated the 
triggering setup.




Just one last question - the frames do seem to be in sync now, but I wanted to 
ask whether it’s necessary to have the same TRIG_PERIOD set on both cameras in 
order for this to work or whether the TRIG_PERIOD doesn’t matter for the second 
camera as it just waits for the signal high? I just want to quickly make sure 
the second cam is really getting triggered and isn’t just getting a very 
similar signal from its own FPGA. I could always check the metadata though, so 
that’s not really much of a problem.




Thanks and good luck with your future projects,

Jan.___
