I've worked with imgsrv before (with simple cURL calls to CamIP:8081/img to download the latest image), but referencing a specific frame doesn't seem to work for me. Let's assume that : - The camera is in 'native' state (autoexp_on=1, free running, ect.) - I set the exposure to something with *elphel_set_P_value*(EPHEL_EXPOS,/something/) - and then wait for four frames with *elphel_wait_frame*(4) - would like to read the exact frame at which the camera is and display this frame I tried to do it like this --- echo "<img src="http://192.168.0.9:8081/img"; width='200'>; # curr. img elphel_set_P_value(ELPHEL_AUTOEXP_ON,0); # turn off autoexposure elphel_set_P_value(EXPOS,100000); # set exposure to 0.1 sec elphel_wait_frame(5); # to be on the safe side echo "<img src="http://192.168.0.9:8081/last/img"; width='200'>; --- Should this not show me first an image from the free running mode, with autoexposure on, then turn off autoexposure and set another exposure, wait for some time and show me the new image? I also don't seem to get the difference between *elphel_wait_frame* and *elphel_skip_frame*? When I use --- echo "frame ".elphel_get_frame()."<br>"; echo elphel_wait_frame(3); echo "frame ".elphel_get_frame()."<br>"; echo elphel_skip_frame(3); echo "frame ".elphel_get_frame()."<br>"; --- I get this output from PHP --- frame 2059 frame 2060 frame 2063 --- Shouldn't *elphel_wait_frame* also increase the pointer of *elphel_get_frame*? Long story short, how can I make sure I show the user the image where the new exposure time has been set?
