3.2 سافٽ ويئر ترتيب ڏيڻ
The motorized focus feature requires specific software setup. This typically involves enabling the camera interface on your Raspberry Pi and installing necessary libraries and scripts. Refer to the official Arducam documentation or GitHub repository for the latest software setup instructions and autofocus Python scripts powered by OpenCV.
The camera supports operating systems such as Raspbian, MotionEye, Kali, and Ubuntu.
4. آپريٽنگ هدايتون
The key feature of this camera is its software-controllable motorized lens, allowing for precise focus adjustment. You can control the focus using keyboard up/down arrows or by utilizing an OpenCV autofocus script.

This capability allows you to achieve sharp images of objects at various distances, from very close-up (millimeter level) to far away, providing greater flexibility compared to fixed-focus cameras. The precise manual focus control is particularly useful for applications like machine vision and object recognition.

5. سار سنڀال
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Arducam Motorized Focus Pi Camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- صفائي: Gently clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth designed for optical surfaces. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- اسٽوريج: جڏهن استعمال ۾ نه هجي ته ڪئميرا کي سڪل، مٽيءَ کان پاڪ ماحول ۾ رکو.
- سافٽ ويئر اپڊيٽ: Regularly check the Arducam website or GitHub repository for firmware and software updates to ensure compatibility and access to new features.
6. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ
If you encounter issues with your camera, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- ڪئميرا نه ملي سگهيو: Ensure the ribbon cable is securely and correctly inserted into both the camera module and the Raspberry Pi's CSI port. Verify that the camera interface is enabled in your Raspberry Pi's configuration settings (e.g., using
raspi-config). - Focus Not Responding: Check that the jumper wires for focus control are correctly connected. Verify that the focus control scripts are installed and running without errors. Ensure the I2C interface is enabled on your Raspberry Pi.
- تصويري معيار جا مسئلا: Confirm proper lighting conditions. Ensure the lens is clean and free from dust or smudges. Adjust focus precisely using the software controls.
- سافٽ ويئر غلطيون: Ensure all required dependencies (e.g., OpenCV) are correctly installed and updated. Consult Arducam's online resources or community forums for specific error messages.
