White balance/exposure settings.

Is there a way to control the white balance and exposure settings directly from pixymon, like we can with the with brightness setting?.

Hello Joshua,
There are some options in PixyMon for setting white balance:

But setting it directly is something that isn’t supported. You might try disabling both “Auto white balance” and “Auto white balance upon power-up” if you want a guaranteed consistent white balance. (Is that what you want?)

I would want a feature in the future that would allow the user to manipulate them directly. I do use the above settings to keep the parameters consistent.

Hello Joshua,
When you say “manipulate directly”, I’m imagining setting the color temperature (perhaps). Or maybe you would want to save off white balance settings and recall them?

Can you describe why you want to manipulate this directly?
