HowTo: Develop 360 Image Desktop Apps with JavaScript and RICOH THETA

[codetricity]

@Kev091190, thanks for the update.

There’s a way to set the IP address of the THETA V/Z1 so that when it goes into client-mode, it goes to a known IP address.

Set the Static IP Address of the RICOH THETA in Client Mode

You can configure the THETA for client mode access through the USB or Wi-FI APIs. In addition to the SSID, password, and other settings, you can also configure the IP address of the camera. This is useful so that you can know the IP address of the THETA when it is in client mode. Two methods of setting IP address in client mode with API Before getting started, let’s understand the limitations of this technique. It cannot set the IP address of the THETA while the THETA is in client mode. Yo…

First, coonnect to the camera in AP mode. Then send this:

  name: "camera._setAccessPoint",
  parameters: {
    "ssid": config.ssid,  // change to string for your ssid
    "security": "WPA/WPA2 PSK",
    "password": config.password,  // set string to the password of your router
    "connectionPriority": 1,
    "ipAddressAllocation": "static",
    "ipAddress": "192.168.2.123",
    "subnetMask": "255.255.255.0",
    "defaultGateway": "192.168.2.1"

After that, reboot the camera and the client-mode IP address will be saved. Now, you can go back to that IP address from your Electron app.

According to the documentation for request, it supports Digest authentication, but I have not been able to get it to work yet.

request

Digest authentication is supported, but it only works with sendImmediately set to false ; otherwise request will send basic authentication on the initial request, which will probably cause the request to fail.
