I've had it working fine for a while, but now I can't detect it anymore... I have check the ribbon and it seems fine.
I have followed https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/upgrade-from-v3-to-v4, but now I don't have crowsnest in my update section anymore, so this may be linked. I have followed the trouble shooting guide too. I have linked my config.txt, maybe I've done something wrong?

Please fix your tags #readme

#

What exactly is your problem right now? Crowsnest not installed or camera not detected?
Send a log and send the output of ls -la ~/crowsnest/tools

Sorry, I somehow missed the webcam tag ! And also sorry for the late answer, I somehow didn't recieve a notification when you replied,....
well actually, my issue is kind of both... After some updates, I can't detect my rpi noIr camera... I've tried to follow the documentation here https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/upgrade-from-v3-to-v4
However, now, I don't see crowsnest in my update manager, and I'm getting the warning shown in the picture, but the path seems to be correct, and most importantly, different than what the warning tells me.
And I still can't detect my camera

Upgrade from v3 to v4

There is a huge different between Crowsnest v3 and v4. Unfortunately, it also means that there are major breaking changes, and you'll need to do some manual steps to upgrade.

#

📎 crowsnest3.log

#

and there's no libs folder, where the path is telling me to go

#

I have found this post https://discord.com/channels/758059413700345988/1116532552094724227, Ill try to apply this for the warning

Your whole installation seems to be broken atm...I guess best would be to run

cd ~/crowsnest
make uninstall
git checkout legacy/v3
make uninstall
cd ~
rm -rf crowsnest``` and then start over

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

oh, okay, will do

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

uneven gate I have found this post https://discord.com/channels/758059413700345988/111653255...

That won't work, as you are missing the libs folder

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

btw, so I can try and figure out next time, how do you know the installation is broken ?

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

You are missing the libs folder xD

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

oh, okay hahaha, i thought it was more elaborate haha

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

It could be that you are on the wrong branch right now too

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

that's entirely possible, i've had some issue following the guide, with the different branch

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

But as you got camera-streamer installed, there might be something messed up

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

and i was kind of lost as to what was removed, what wasn't, what wasn't touched

#

just to make sure, I need to follow the standard procedure, as described here?https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/setup/installation

Installation

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

Yes

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

alright, ill keep you updated

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

Oh you might don't have camera-streamer installed, got confused with another post. But still I would recommend to just completely start over, just to be sure everything is correct

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

so do I also need to install this ?

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

It will install automatically

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

just to make sure, these aren't errors, right?

#

because they look like the errors i get in a terminal when I code, however, it never states its an error, here

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

Yeah, I don't know what exactly that is and I can understand what you mean, but if it doesn't interrupt the installation, everything is fine

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:02 AM

#

okay it just finished installing i think

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

uneven gate just to make sure, these aren't errors, right?

Those errors seem like false positive or just something like deprecation warnings

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

okay, now crowsnest appears in the update manager, but still no sign of a camera...

#

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:08 AM

#

Have a look at this: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:10 AM

#

Yes I was following this, but I don't detect anything. HOWEVER, the time is not correct. Is it UK time or local time? Because otherwise, the last entry is from an hour ago

#

and well.. still no camerra detected..

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:12 AM

#

Run vcgencmd get_camera and systemctl status crowsnest

#

Did you reboot after installation?

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:12 AM

#

yes

#

#

To be fair, the issue may be withing my rpi. I've had connection issue with the mcu, and now the display too. I will buy a ribbon cable to plug the cam into a pi3 or 4, and I'll swap them. We will see if that fixes it

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:22 AM

#

The thing about the second picture is, that it doesn't even start somehow

#

Send the output of journalctl -g crowsnest

#

I hope that's the correct command ^^

#

journalctl -r -g crowsnest would be better

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:29 AM

#

and then it says line 1-52

uneven gate To be fair, the issue may be withing my rpi. I've had connection issue with the ...

Then this should be the case

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

but what about crowsnest not even starting ?

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

ERROR: No usable Devices Found. Stopping crowsnest

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:35 AM

#

oh okay, makes sense

steel lynx Jun 18, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

Crowsnest is just some bash scripts, that will start some backends for you, that it's easier to configure everything and getting a cam running

uneven gate Jun 18, 2023, 11:38 AM

#

okay
I guess I will keep you updated one I make the swap. Thanks for the help !

uneven gate Jun 19, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

just a quick update: I've realised I dont have crowsnest on my second printer, and the webcam works fine. Could this be a lead ?

#

its a usb webcam

#

(as opposite to the rpi cam on the voron)

steel lynx Jun 19, 2023, 8:30 PM

#

Could this be a lead ?
What exactly do you mean with that right now?

steel lynx Jun 19, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

If you meant that without crowsnest it's working and you shouldn't use it, then go ahead, but then you are most likely using webcamd and that thing is outdated for a long time now

uneven gate Jun 20, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

Nah, I just meant that I have my other printer working without crowsnest, so maybe there was another work around. But in any case, I have received my new ribbon cable, and changed the rpi zero 2w to my 3b+ for now. And oh my. I managed to reflash my v0 display, and the camera is working. This was a pure drop in replacement, by just moving the sd card, and repluging the cable

#

it was seamless
