This is work in progress and the goal would be to step by step enhance the interface and make it more robust. Currently is shaky and lacks checks and is more a proof of concept and starting point.
This libraries purpose is a dedicate control of a ricoh thetaV. The goal is that the functionalities are provided by this library respective c++ class the underlying mechanism is based on libptp and libusb.
Big parts of the code, especially in the ptp_helpers are directly taken from libptp2's ptpcam. The orginial can be found here. It is on the todo list to rework and streamline the functions for this project.
As explained this library relies heavily on libptp2 but the original was not exposing all functions and I had some problems using the original headers. Thus we use currently this fork of libptp2 to avoid this issues. More information is in the repo of the fork but defentely ideal would be the use of the original.
This will clone, build and install this fork of libptp2. If no installation prefix is set via CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX then it will install into /usr/local and sudo rigths are required for the install.
git clone https://github.com/kruegerrobotics/libptp2
cd libptp2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make installThe libusb is required to build this library. On Debian systems libusb with lib and headers can be installed with
sudo apt install lib libusb-dev git clone https://github.com/kruegerrobotics/libthetacontrol.git
cd libthetacontrol
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
