Core One Buddy Camera Forgets Network Data

Hi I just set up the buddy camera for my Core One. I power the printer off when not in use and when I do the camera forgets the network data and has to be reconnected each time with a QR code.

Using firmware v3.0.4

Is this a bug or a feature?

RE:

Assuming the camera is still powered, it stops taking snapshots when the printer is OFF.  After you turn the printer on, the camera will automatically resume taking snapshots every 10-11 seconds.

The camera is powered by the printer, so if I power off the printer the camera powers off too. 

When I power the printer back on the camera doesn't reconnect to my wifi network, I need to rescan the QR code. I assume from your answer that this is not the intended behaviour.

RE:

Sorry, I didn’t notice that you’re using it on a CoreOne; mine is on a MK4S.  It’s basically the same camera in a different housing, except that on a MK4S it has to be powered separately.  Just a suggestion, but you might try powering the camera from a separate supply, at least temporarily, and see what happens when you turn the printer on & off.

My camera automatically reconnects after power cycling either the printer alone, the camera, or both, so that’s what yours *should* do.  It is v3.0.4.

I experienced the same reconnect problem.  Exchanged email with support.  They finally sent me a replacement camera.  The replacement has the same “failure to reconnect” problem.  Very frustrating.  After playing around with the problem I finally gave up and I am installing an Octopi camera setup instead.

Just setup my camera which came with an assembled Core One, it also forgets the network after a power off.

Firmware Version 3.0.4

NB. I also had trouble with a $ in the password, had to setup a separate network for it with a different password.
