When theta V is connected to the computer by USB, but the power button is not pressed, can theta V be controlled by the program to boot. The power light color is green and no blue Status Indicator.

@KnifeEdge There is no remote power on function in the THETA USB API. Can you tell me a little about what you are building? I am able to talk with the THETA product manager and can report back about requested functionality. Are you building something for work or is it a personal project? If you want to communicate privately, I can be reached at [email protected].

I can‘t run your RICOH THETA Plug-in SDK, and there are some trouble:

  1. I can't find the library (com.theta360.pluginlibrary)
  2. I need some help for run this sample
  3. I need some c# sample for RICOH THETA V.

The com.theta360.pluginlibrary should be installed with Gradle. Are you using Android Studio? https://github.com/ricohapi/theta-plugin-sdk/blob/ac139062066020f39a620ac7bb0df1e62df9f4cd/app/build.gradle#L33

If you have the USB cable plugged into a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano, you can power cycle the USB ports to turn on the THETA V from a power off state. If you are trying to turn on the camera when it is connected to a Windows machine, I'm not sure how to do it programmatically. If you can physically unplug the USB cable from Windows and plug it back in, the camera will likely boot.

If you are referring to a C# example that runs on Windows and talks to the THETA V over a USB cable, try this: https://github.com/kon0524/WpdMtp
