Description

Requirements

  • I have updated Configurator to the latest available version
  • I did a search to see if there is a similar issue or if a pull request is open.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

In the current OpenIPC firmware for the SSC30KQ, the IMX335 driver crops the camera's field of view to a 16:9 window when running 60 FPS, even though the camera is capable of full sensor scan at 4:3 at this frame rate. I am aware of a "secret" 59 FPS mode which should use the full sensor scan, but that doesn't work for me.

I like using 4:3 resolutions and full sensor scan, so I replace the sensor driver with the "sensor_imx335_mipi.new60.ko" from Greg Sparks (you can find it in the Telegram chat and also below, I renamed it with .txt to allow me to put it here). This works for me but it would be nice to make the process easier for newcomers.

sensor_imx335_mipi.new60.ko.txt

Describe the solution you'd like

Simpler solution:
Add a feature of replacing the sensor driver when the user specifically requests it, similar to how the TX profiles for adaptive link are uploaded using the configurator.

More elegant solution:
Automatically update the sensor driver on the drone when the user selects a 4:3 resolution and a frame rate of 60 FPS or less.
