I would like to use the new CaptureImage widget from mappVision 6.6.
Has anyone managed to connect to the camera?
The CameraStatus changes to 16x8000_0000, after 100s (I increased the timeout), the timeout occurs.
Hi @simon.buschor, I have found this old topic without an answer. Have you found a solution or contacted local support?
No, i didn’t look for or find a solution, as support recommended not spending any more time trying to get the widget to work.
why? 
it is official B&R widget or?
It is an official widget, but it is new and will probably change a lot very soon. I think I agree with Support’s recommendation, if you need to view the image on the HMI you should follow the Help instructions for using ViBase: Use cases: Backing up, displaying or providing the camera image
If you were to get the widget in mappVision 6.6 working, it would work very similarly to the mappVision HMI in that it forces IO and prevents the rest of your application from using the camera. Utilizing ViBase with the Help link above will take a bit of time and testing, but it is very flexible as far as loading images as JPG or BMP, only loading images as required, and allowing the rest of the application to run.

This is important information. Thanks for this update.
@bryan.olson : i would totally agree with the alternative approach of using the three methods of viewing and displaying the image on the mappView.
However interesting would be to know about the actual purpose or use of the widget!
@simon.buschor : I did face a similar issue, the session was initialized but the Websocket would close after the timeout of 10s. During this time, it tries to establish the connection,
register all bindings. This fails. If you set the debugMode to ‘true’ on your widget, you should be seeing this additional info. Having discussed this with some colleagues of the R&D - this topic is still under investigation however we suspect that there is either some issue with AS API/ mappView installer or the build of the widget provided with the binaries).
I could update this post once I have additional info!
Thankyou all
