Testing Pi5 with Arducam 16MP (B0371)

I receive...
File "home/andrsuth/RPICamGUI.py", line 315, in Camera Version
vfps2.append(int(forms[q][1:3]))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '9.'

Thanks for your awesome utility! We're trying to use your GUI for running timelapses on an array of Raspberry Pi's with the cameras mounted to microscopes for a research project. To simplify control, we have all of the Pi's on a KVM switch but we've found that switching between Pi's causes timelapses to fail because the camera can no longer be found. Does this sound like something that would be easy to fix? I have no experience with the Pi camera API so figured it would be easiest to ask you.

This is not really an "issue" as it is working as intended for me.

I am using a Pi Zero 2 mounted inside a 3D printer with a PiCam module 3 wide. When I run RPiCamGUI it informs me that it can not run, because it can not find an external monitor, which I assume is the way it's supposed to work.

Is there a way the code can be modified so that I can run this configuration using a preview window with VNC? If not that's fine, I can always take it out of its case, and attach a small monitor. That should allow me to get it close enough. Just thought I'd ask. Great work, by the way, really finding it useful in setting up PiCams.

When I run it I get an error

Do I need to install something else?

Hi,
I used the original app and it was excellent thank you.

Using the new app I am unable to initiate viewer using RealVNC as pygame exits with No available displays.
Is there something in the config script I can change for it to work? or is it a bigger issue.
I am using the latest OS for the RPI with a 3b.

Regards

Any suggestion how to solve this?

When i use libcamera and specify a lens position value (for focusing) it works good, but in the RPiCamGUI, the focus doesn't wanna stick to the focus value i choose and keep jumping back and forth and try focusing even in manual mode (which doesn't work in darkness)
Is it possible to implement the libcamera lens position in RPiCamGUI?
Or do i do something wrong?

This is the error i receive when i run the python script.

Amazing you're still developing this. Excellent work.
I was wondering if you could add code to have an external shutter release when you ground a Gpio pin. I see 21 and 26 are already used. Maybe something else close to a ground like gpio 27.
Then I could use a controller set to fire a shot over intervals for macro stacking on a rail.
Thank you

Hi.
I have tried using the GUI with Raspberry pi zero 2W which is connected to a 12 MP camera module 3. But I have came across an error which I am unable to solve -

python3 ~/RPiCamGUI.py
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:228: RuntimeWarning: Your system is neon capable but pygame was not built with support for it. The performance of some of your blits could be adversely affected. Consider enabling compile time detection with environment variables like PYGAME_DETECT_AVX2=1 if you are compiling without cross compilation.

I am unable to resolve this issue. I wanted to know whether the RPiCamGUI will work with the pi zero 2W? Please help me out.
Thank you.

In the py file i can edit the stream port, so that implies a streaming function. However, after starting the script and running netstat -tapn, i find no open port and also no streaming.
So is this a lack of a feature, a bug or expected behaviour (no streaming)?
