Is there a way to set a limit/ have a setting that artificially limits the Frames Per Second that a the camera captures and Processes? (instead of best effort processing)
this would be done in order to prove out some concepts/ for testing of algorithms.
I haven’t seen anything that does that in the documentation …
I suppose I could set a DELAY at the end of the loop … but that doesn’t really do what I want, which is essentially be able to prototype out and show the difference between how an algorithm works at 15FPS vs 30FPS.

Hi, please look at the forum history for recent posts… I just answered this. Look at what I’ve recently posted back till Friday. Someone was asking me about this for taking videos. I posted a code snippet.

Thanks!
I didn’t see it. I’ll check.
Edit:
It looks like [this](http://forums.openmv.io/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=378&p=2400&hilit=fps#p2400) thread will help.
Thanks!
