I tried to open simple_camera.py using $ python3 simple_camera.py code through terminal but following error occurs
“Unable to open camera”
My camera version is IMX. 219.-160, and it actually works when I try to operate it simply.
I think the problem is camera can’t recognize my python file. How should I solve this problem
code is as follows
