- Add run.py with --devices, --dev, --install-dependencies options - Fix TypeError in tc001v4.2.py: use 0.0 instead of False for CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB - Update README with v4l-utils dependency and device listing example Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- --devices → -l, --list (shorter and matches common CLI conventions) - --dev → -u, --use (clearer intent: "use this device") - --install-dependencies → -i, --install (concise) - Remove redundant examples section from help output Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add "Using the Wrapper Script" section with usage instructions - Document all CLI options (-l, -u, -i, -h) - Reorganize "Running Directly" as alternative method Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR adds a convenient wrapper script and fixes compatibility with newer OpenCV versions.
New:
run.pyStartup ScriptA new
run.pyscript in the project root provides an easy entry point for users:Why? Users no longer need to remember the path to
src/tc001v4.2.pyor the exact parameter names. The wrapper handles everything from one place.Fix: OpenCV Compatibility
Changed
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB, False)tocap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB, 0.0).Why? Newer OpenCV versions require a
floatvalue instead ofbool, causing aTypeErroron startup.Documentation: v4l-utils Dependency
Added
v4l-utilsto the README dependencies section with installation instructions.Why?
v4l2-ctl --list-devicesis required to find the camera device number, but the package wasn't listed as a dependency.Documentation: Device Listing Example
Added example output of
v4l2-ctl --list-devicesto the README.Why? Helps users understand how to identify their thermal camera (look for "USB Camera") and which device number to use (first
/dev/videoXentry).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
