USB MS Lifecam HD 3000 Exposure Issues

I love first because of the late nights, the unparralleled stress, the excitement, the emotion. Because of the close defeats, the close victories. Because of the pride, the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of embettering the world. But most of all, because of you, the other teams. - Keith Chester [more]

Re: USB MS Lifecam HD 3000 Exposure Issues

I haven't tried using any of the FRC software to set the exposure, but I noticed that OpenCV has issues setting it as well. I've found that you can install v4l-utils (via opkg), and execute the following command:

Code:

v4l2-ctl -c exposure_auto=1 -c exposure_absolute=10

Works every time.
