papywizard FAQ
General
What is a motorized head for?
Is my camera supported?
Installation
What device can I use?
Papywizard is mainly developped for Nokia 770/N800/N810 devices. The 770 is an old discontinued product, but can be found on ebay for less than 75€. The installation of that device is a little more complicated than on others, as it needs to be flashed with a new firmeware, but its design is much better. On the other hand, N800/N810 are faster, simpler to configure, but more expensive.
For a complete description of how to configure these devices, see this Autopano wiki page
Bluetooth does not work under Windows
Bluetooth support through pybluez is limited; only Windows and Broadcom stacks are supported. So, if your device comes with Toshiba or Bluesoleil stack, first remove it, and let Windows install its drivers. It should then work.
How can I change the look'n'feel?
It is possible to globaly change the application look'n'feel using the GTK styles. See UserGuideSvn.
Errors
Error related to configuration
It may happen that the configuration file can't be updated while installing a new version, especially when you use dev. release. If Papywizard can't start, and report an error related to the configuration, you need to remove the config. file:
C:\\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\papywizard\papywizard.conf¹ under Windows~/.config/papywizard/papywizard.confunder linux/home/user/.config/papywizard/papywizard.confunder maemo
¹: you have to configure the Windows Explorater so it shows you system files and directories.
HardwareError: Axis n can't send command
Papywizard can't correctly comunicate with the head. Solutions:
- check if the head is switched on
- if using serial driver, be sure to use the correct port
- if using a bluetooth-to-serial converter, don't forget to configure its baudrate to 9600 for the Merlin/Orion head
