How to run the v4l2lepton with raspberry pi3

[jiangxin...@gmail.com]

I want to run the Lepton module with v4l2lepton project on raspberry pi3.

I have complied the v4l2lepton(https://github.com/groupgets/LeptonModule/tree/master/software/v4l2lepton), but when "./v4l2lepton /dev/videoX", it was"Failed to open v4l2sink device. (No such file or directory)".

I found that there is no /dev/videoX node.

I add the "bcm2835-v4l2" in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf, enbale the camera config, I also excute the "sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2".

But I have not got the /dev/videoX node yet.

What should I do for raspberry pi 3 to run this v4l2lepton project?

Thanks!

Hi, it sounds like you have not installed the v4l2loopback module. Please follow the instructions in the readme. 

Also, `/dev/videoX` the X refers to the v4l2 device number, you will want to replace X with the number for your loopback device. You can choose the number when you modprobe v4l2loopback.
