Automated LRGB Sequence Capture

Hi,
I am trying to work with the scripting in SharpCap in order to automate capturing LRGB planetary datasets with my filterwheel.
I stumbled across this script:
miniCAM5F_LRGB_Capture.py.txt
(7.06 KiB) Downloaded 248 times
but I am getting errors with:

Code: Select all

from SharpCap.UI import NotificationMessage
from SharpCap.UI import NotificationStatus
is there a workaround I can use?

Thanks

Kirk

OK, I've been muddling through and so far have got a script that works, albeit there is some fine tuning to do.

At the moment the variables such as TimeLimit & number of sequences are hard coded.

I am going to make the script more user friendly with a form to allow input of these variables.

I might also add an option to change from using a timelimit to using a framelimit.

Also thinking about adding filter specific variables e.g Gain & Exposure.

Here's the code so far:

Try this

Code: Select all

clr.AddReference("SharpCap.Base.dll")
from SharpCap.Base import NotificationStatus
from SharpCap.Base import NotificationMessage

Hi Robin, thanks for replying.
I did try this but to no avail, I have now altered the way notifications are been shown.
Thanks

Thanks Dave, I have seen this & have based my script partially on this apart from mine lack a GUI
Cheers

I have now made a few changes to make the script more usable, still no GUI though.

I've been through the wringer attempting to create a GUI in Python & decided that it's just not worth the effort.

Here is my current code, tested & working:

Kirk,

You can learn from my IronPython code...
