Pi camera?  

RE: Pi camera?

I did the pip update. Interesting. I’m guessing i will have to flash it again. As I’m using the original enclosure and getting from and to the Pi each time is a real pain, maybe I’ll wait a bit before updating…

RE:

If youbfigure out what it is, that's cool too. I know you need the new libcamera stack but there was some discourse on what to change in the config.txt file (if anything) Changing to the new image was the simplest thing to do for me.

You definitely have to have libcamera-hello on your system. There's no way around that. I use the newer C library's python bindings

RE: Pi camera?

Me again. The camera worked for a day, but stopped working now. libcamera-hello --list-cameras returns "No cameras available!" and obviously, there is no camera available in prusa link. Wiggling on the cables and rebooting/power cycle didn't help. Might not be related to prusa link at all... Has anyone had a similar issue? I'll keep investigating.

RE: Pi camera?

I've had numerous problems with my Octoprint Pi4 and Pi camera. They are very sensitive to cable movement, etc. I finally just replaced it with a Logitech C920X USB camera. All of the camera problems went away.

RE: Pi camera?

Yes, we had multiple cable issues as well. But they usually did resolve with a new ribbon. Just don't plug the thing in while powered up. It can end in a fried camera. I would like someone to explore shielding the ribbon in foil or something just for the heck of it 😁

RE: Pi camera?

Hi,

I just installed the RC3 candidate and all is working fine. I am using a Raspberry camera module v3 with a Raspberry Zero 2W, connected via PINs directly to the Einsy board. How do I get the autofocus activated? It seems the camera does not focus right. I could not find any setting, where this could be set-up.
Any idea how to change the focus of the camera? 

RE: Pi camera?

Hi, sadly that one is not working yet. The camera autofocuses once on boot, so maybe try that. With the photo frequency so low, the autofocus is not working at all, so we'll have to figure out a solution to this. The least that will be available in the next version is a manual focus setting. Tedious as that might be. Sorry, hope you can get it to work in some way in the meantime 🫤

The V3 came out real late for me to notice the AF issues.

RE:

Hey,

I got a new cable and replaced it. Made no difference. I measured the resistance of the old cable. It's not broken either. At this point libcamera-hello --list-cameras still didn't return the camera. Reinstalling libcamera helped. Now it says:

I can also take pictures with libcamera-still. But I still can't see the camera in prusa link:(

Any further ideas?

RE: Pi camera?

Weird, seems like it does not support YUYV, please get me the syslog from the settings in local web interface. There might be a clue. Othereise, I'll just try to get my hands on whathever you have and test
