Take picture with camera of Pleo rb

[Dca]

Hi all,
i need your help.
How can i program that my Pleo rb takes a picture with his camera and save it to the SD-Card.
I've tried to take a picture after a touch of his head. So in the sensor.p file:
        case SENSOR_HEAD:
        {
             new file_name[] = "samplefile";
      camera_take_picture(file_name);
         }
But it doesn't work.

Several comments:

"camera_take_picture" returns a boolean result, it should be checked.

Unfortunately "camera_take_picture" only starts the process of taking and saving a picture. It is a slow process, and you need to keep checking a special (undocumented) property to see when it is done.

Also, be careful with strings stored as data. Unless you need data in a variable, use a literal string. Otherwise it wastes valuable RAM. Also be sure you have "#pragma pack 1" near the start of the source file.

Here is some code I use in my test program:

Code:

#include "Camera.inc"

//IF NEEDED
native bool: camera_take_picture(const file_name[]);
 // some versions of SDK do not have it in Camera.inc

#pragma pack 1

...
   // save the picture
    if (camera_take_picture("A:one.img")) // save on SD card
    {
        PlaySound(snd_cap_one); // shutter sound
        // wait until done saving
        while (get(property_cam_img_progress) != 0)
        {
            yield();
        }
        // now the picture is saved
        PlaySound(snd_camera_saved);
    }
    else
    {
        PlaySound(snd_capture_error);
    }

Hello,

I trying your code and the more strange is that code runs once of ten.
It's extremly strange, something occure about "while", don't reproduce me "camera_saved".

while (get(property_cam_img_progress) != 0)
        {
            yield();
        }
        // now the picture is saved
        PlaySound(snd_camera_saved);

Any idea??

Thanks.
