OctoEverywhere has a feature that automatically activates the light on the Elegoo Centauri Carbon whenever the webcam is viewed. The setting to control the auto light activation defaults to true, so a good image can be retrieved when Gadget and other OctoEverywhere plugin features use the webcam.
Change The Conf Setting
You can enable or disable this feature using the octoeverywhere.conf config file. In the config file, under the general category, set the auto_activate_chamber_light_for_webcam value to False.
After you change the setting, you will need to restart the plugin.
