StartDriver() doesn't work

[Andymash]

When I run the code, I find an error indicated. It happens to all the dataRay example codes, including this one, do you know what's the reason?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\yang.zeng\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\comtypes_init_.py", line 275, in getattr
fixed_name = self.map_case[name.lower()]
KeyError: 'startdevice'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Could you post a MWE? (or in this case, minimal, non-working, example?)

I've been in this situation as well, but I don't know how to fix it. It was successful when I first ran it, but a week later, maybe my computer automatically updated the system, and then this happened

I have the same issue. I can go into devMode=False and run cam.startDevice() which returns False. Maybe its an issue with the DataRay driver

[sunjerry019]

just checking, I remember when I first started developing the code, I was also encountering some error with StartDriver

check https://github.com/sunjerry019/nanosquared/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#version-information and see if your version is newer or equal to the version of the WinCamD software listed here

a minimal code using the code in this repo would be:

from nanosquared.cameras.wincamd import WinCamD

with WinCamD() as w:
    w.startDevice()
