Sensicam for Linux
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I am trying to get the Sensicam working in Linux. PCO sent me a kernel module and a Linux SDK which differs from the Windows SDK. I wrote wrappers for all the functions of the Windows SDK that the DeviceAdapter calls. It should be included into micromanager1.3/DeviceAdapters/Sensicam/Sensicam.cpp like this: #ifdef linux #include "SensicamL.h" // wrapper for Linux library #endif However I can't figure out what changes I have to make to get it compiled and I also have to add a "-lsensicam" to the LD_FLAGS. I guess it is in some configure.in. Maybe someone on this list knows the answer.

Hi Nico,
it took a while but finally I've incorporated all my changes and got the camera running (somewhat) in Micromanager under Ubuntu 9.10 x86. In contrast to the Windows SDK all the functions in the Linux SDK are lower-case and they expect a handle to the board as a first argument. As I only have one board I didn't bother to implement it for several boards. It only works with 16 bit data output (contains 12 bit from camera). Also I couldn't use GetTickCount() in CSensicam::SnapImage(), so if something goes wrong it might freeze Micromanager. However I was able to capture some images with it. You'll start with the SDK from PCO: martin@cyberpower:~/src/sen2_02_11$ ls coc_i386 COPYING pb525002.bit Readme.txt sencam_env sendrvh sentest coc_x86_64 Makefile pco.rules sencam_buf sendrv senlib It contains a module (pco52x.ko) and libsenlib.so. The module will provide you with /dev/sensicam_0/cam that will be opened by libsenlib.so. The library uploads the file pb525002.bit to the camera and handles all the low level communication. When everything is compiled you can start micromanager with: martin@cyberpower:/usr/share/imagej$ export PCOPB=/home/martin/src/sen2_02_11/pb525002.bit martin@cyberpower:/usr/share/imagej$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/micro-manager/ martin@cyberpower:/usr/share/imagej$ java -jar ij.jar Depending on how motivated I am I might to clean up the code. I hope that it doesn't contain serious memory leaks. I also have a little test program that only depends on libsenlib.so that allows to use very short integration times (I down to 500 ns). It might be useful to have that in Micromanager as well. The handfull of files that I had to change are attached as an archive.
