Your THETA V and your workstation must be connected to the same
WiFi router or Ethernet switch/hub. You can also connect your THETA to the Wi-Fi of your
laptop or workstation if you share the Wi-Fi connection.
The THETA V WiFi LED should be solid green, not blue. If you are assigning the THETA an IP
address with DHCP, people have reported success with both the internal router DHCP (such as an
inexpensive D-Link home router) and a DHCP server running on a Linux server/workstation. See this
thread for more information on using Ethernet.
- change the IP address in
client-mode.pyto the IP address of your THETA V. - change the THETA_ID and THETA_PASSWORD constants to your specific camera.
Run test:
$ python client-mode.py info
or if you are using Linux and your PATH is set to the current directory:
$ client-mode.py info
- help
- info
- state
- takePicture - take a single picture
- _listPlugins - list installed plug-ins
- _setPlugin - set active plug-in to boot. Requires package name on command line
- listFiles - print last 10 files, including metadata
- imageUrls - print last 20 image file URLs
- getImage - download image and save to file. Requires URL on command line
- imageUrls - print last 20 image URLs
- downloadTester - download last 20 images
- takePictureTester - take 10 images
To find the IP address of the THETA V:
$ python3 find-theta.py
Thanks to these people for Ethernet testing:
- Kev091190 - first person to figure out that THETA V can be powered by USG OTG 'Y' connector. Also contributed extensive performance tests.
- nasos333 - successfully tested Linux DHCP server
