Camera Settings Control

Camera Settings Control allows you to configure settings like Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, etc... with macros.
It's not enabled by default. To enable it:

  • Open printer.cfg file:

    • On Mainsail Web Interface go to MACHINE tab on the left side.
    • On Fluidd Web Interface go to Configuration icon on the left side.

  • Remove the first # symbol at the following line:

    printer.cfg
    #[include camera_settings.cfg] # Remove comment to use macros to control camera settings

  • Click on SAVE & RESTART at the top right to save the file.

  • You can now control camera settings with macros:

    Mainsail Fluidd
    • CAM SETTINGS → Displays the current camera settings in the console
    • CAM RESTORE SETTINGS → Restores the camera to default settings
