For the THETA S, can your robot use the WiFi API to set the mode?

Set the value to _liveStreaming
with the API and you should be good to go.
Please advise if you’re using the USB API or the WiFi API and if you’re using the USB API, if it is possible to use the WiFi API in your project.
The THETA S will not turn on when power is applied. You need to push the power button. If you can’t leave it you, you’ll need to try something like the RICOH R Dev Kit.
The RICOH R Dev Kit will turn on in live streaming mode.
