Camera on PrusaLink but not PrusaConnect

I'm probably looking for an idiot's guide here, so please bear with me.

I've installed a RPi zero 2W into my Mk3s, and set up both PrusaLink and PrusaConnect. Both work great.

I've then installed a usb camera (endoscope) into the RPi, and it works great in PrusaLink where I see images every 10 seconds.

However, in PrusaConnect there is no resulting camera present. Maybe I need to add this in software somehow, but I'm at a loss as to how. I can't scan the barcode offered in PrusaConnect since it's not a phone camera so no scanning app. There's talk of an API, but I've no idea what to do with that !?!?

Help if possible please.....

Hi, try going to the local PrusaLink web interface, into the cameras tab. You should see a switch near the top right of the camera list item, click that so it looks switched on. That should enable the camera to send pictures to connect. Hope that helps.

Oh, THAT button...... well that was easy. I was expecting some sort of complicated c++ code.

It's always the easy things that I miss. Thanks so much, working great in PrusaConnect as well now. Top marks to you.

No idea, not working on the mk4. The printer itself does not have the throughput to handle camera data while printing and doing everything else. The control tab must have ended up in the unimportant pile.
