How to update exposure rate through Python for AR1820HS through the SDK

USB 3 Camera Dev Kits

Hello Arducam,

I am trying to source a camera with 1080p resolution, and the possibility to adjust the exposure rate programmatically through Python. Found the AR1820HS but then looking through the SDK I can’t seem to find how I could actually change the exposure of the camera via my software: https://www.arducam.com/downloads/shields/USB_Shield/ArduCAM_USB_Camera_Python_SDK_Guide_V1.3.pdf

Could you help me?

Hi,

We do not provide a method to directly adjust the exposure, but you can read and write the sensor’s register yourself.If you need to modify the exposure, you only need to modify the corresponding register of the sensor.

example:

ArducamSDK.Py_ArduCam_writeSensorReg(handle, 0x3012, 1000)
