Hi Josh,

Thanks for the update. Cool to see this is being provided thru git. Also good, having updates and feedback. I’m going to try the source you guys provide. Personally, I like having direct access to the source.

Thanks

Hi!
Is there any news regarding the Astra SDK UVC for Color camera?
I’m starting to work with Orbbec Persee, and I started to investigate the limitations.

Thanks.
