I install Raspberry PI OS Bulleye - with Kernel 5.15.61 v7
Installed Arducam drivers
Install Crownest / Mainsail / Klipper / Timelapse
All working expect the camera showing no signal

I can the can is detect which I do ls /dev/video* --- > detected as video0

I tried to take a snap using the commands on arducam side and i can see the image is captured on the SD card.

Need proper guide to get this working. Tired multiple things from past two weeks but this is not working.

Also if I cant get this working I want my mobile cam to take pictures during timelapse

My mobile cam is detect and i can see the feed in the webcam session. Mobile has droid cam installed.

When i start the timelapse no pictures is capture using http://ip:8080/photo.jpg

I gave permission on mobile to store data, manually I can take pics and they are being store but not via mailsail / timelapse.

Kindly help - I need to get some good quality timelapse using my mobile / 16mp arducam

So, its hard to say, but you are out of luck. Arducams arent supported by crowsnest. To the issue with timelapse and an external source I cant say anything because I dont use timelapse, sorry.

#

Maybe @verbal berry could help here, but the team is quite busy, so please be patient.

Nope no idea normally you need the snapshot url for that.

@lost elk I just saw your comment / issue raised on Camera_streamer GIT. I have got it work on my klipper and its very smooth. I am just struggling with Camera focus for 16mp Arducam. any idea how to do manual focus on it ?

lost elk
void dust
#

yes right

lost elk
#

What I meant was are you using the ayucamstream branch of crowsnest. But obviously not so, I cant help with that, I recently started my self to discover it. But maybe @plain thorn could 😉

void dust
#

ohh ok, thanks I have already raised an issue regarding it

#

Also thanks for highlighting that there is a crowsnest brach of ayucamstream. will look into it

lost elk
#

Well, good enough. Maybe you could do testing for me because I own no arducam 😉

void dust
#

ofcourse i can do that

#

I have 2 Ardu cam, with Pi3b+ and 4 as well

#

I would inititally needs you help setting up thing and testing

lost elk
#

Well, change branch in crowsnest. Also disable moonraker update manager entry for now.

plain thorn
#

i am on this branch - feat/ayucamstream

If you want try your luck with that branch use mode: multi to use camera-streamer instead of ustreamer, but be aware thats a totally experimental branch not officially supported.

@lost elk As discussed last week, we were about to test arducam on Pi3 and PI4 with you help.

I tried mode : multi but in the logs its say fallback to MJPG. below are the logs

I got that working without crowsnest, manual focus. 30 fps with no load on my cpu /gpu. Looks very good.

now also works with crowsnest install.
