MK4 + PrusaConnect + Camera?
Hello! I would like to add a camera to my MK4 and PrusaConnect. In Prusa Connect there is the option to add a camera - but it seems, you only may add a smartphone or tablet as a camera. Has anyone found a way to add either a Raspberry Pi (in my case, I own a Zero 2W + RaspiCam), an ESP32 camera or any other existing http video stream to Prusa Connect? Any hint welcome.... 🙂

Additional question: Would it be possible to add an USB-camera to the USB-C Port of the MK4?

I was just playing with Wyze Bridge on Octoprint. This could be a decent option IMHO. Allow RTSP or HLS streaming. I would think that would be minimal load on the printer since it's just passing through the stream or even redirecting....

Hi, I am not aware of such a solution being planned. Sorry

I'm trying to use the raspicam_prusa code to rotate the image 180 degrees. I tried two ways to effect this change but neither has worked.
subprocess.run(["raspistill", "-rot", "180", "-w", "1012", "-h", "760", "--quality", "50", "-o", os.path.join(picturedir,"image.jpg")])
subprocess.run(["raspistill", "-vf", "-w", "1012", "-h", "760", "--quality", "50", "-o", os.path.join(picturedir,"image.jpg")])
I saw somewhere that I might need to switch from raspistill to libcamera to rotate the view. I can rotate the view in Prusa connect, which is what I'm currently doing, but the rotate function doesn't appear to be available [yet] in the app version (iOS).
Any suggestions?

I figured it out. I had tried another service that I thought hadn't worked, and then I had moved on trying this one, but it turns out that the other one was working -- thus my argument edits were being ignored/overridden by the other service. It's working now. 🙂
