The Pi Hut

This wide angle camera module for the Raspberry Pi uses the same IMX708 sensor and footprint as the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, however Arducan has given it a bit of a remix with USB-C UVC connection, a wide angle fixed focus lens and a built-in microphone! The USB-C UVC connection means you can use this cam

That's a weird thing tbh. According to the linked website it should show as USB cam, so it's weird, that nothing shows in the log.
Send the output of libcamera-hello --list-cameras and vcgencmd get_camera

1st one says no cameras available

#

supported=1 detected=0, libcamera interfaces=0

wild mountain
#

But you don't have a csi camera connected?

crisp fog
#

the camera is connected to that board through csi/dsi and from usb c is connected to the pi usb

#

no i have no other camera connected

wild mountain
#

Then please share your /boot/config.txt

crisp fog
wild mountain
#

Comment out camera_auto_detect=0 at the bottom of the config

#

Then reboot and check libcamera-hello --list-cameras again

crisp fog
#

i dont know how to do it

#

because i always go there using winscp and winscp doesnt allow me to modify files

#

but in the config camera auto detect is 1 not 0

#

a ok i saw where u want to comment

#

but i just dont know how

#

to modify it

wild mountain
#

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

#

ctrl+s to save and then ctrl+x to exit it

crisp fog
#

ok done

#

now u want to reboot the pi?

wild mountain
#

Yes

#

And then output of libcamera-hello --list-cameras

crisp fog
#

same

#

mihai@mjolnirpi:~ $ libcamera-hello --list-cameras
No cameras available!
mihai@mjolnirpi:~ $ vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=0, libcamera interfaces=0
mihai@mjolnirpi:~ $

What does v4l2-ctl --list-devices say?

crisp fog

Ok, so it really detects it, but is most likely a bit confused

#

Send the output of dmesg

#

Are you using a klipperscreen?

#

And do you use an USB hub?

crisp fog
#

yes i have klipperscreen and the screen is connected via dsi

#

as for the hub i dont think is a hub is just the argon one m2 case that maybe has a built in hub since it has 5 usb ports

#

4 usb ports one is used for m2 ssd and 1 i use the controller board the other an extension cable for the camera and the last one beacon 3d

#

Can you try to connect the cam directly to the pi?

#

Ok, wait it really doesn't look like an hub

#

But I guess that thing might be a problem

#

Ah nvm. It's just normal for the pi to show it like that

#

I just didn't found it at my dmesg output at first

#

But yeah, the cam most likely got problems of some kind here

#

What exactly is hard to say. Might be a power issue. Do you have a powered usb hub?

crisp fog
#

yes

#

u wanna connect it to the pi and the power plug and after connect the cam to the hub?

wild mountain
#

Yes

crisp fog
#

done it

#

ok now i have image

#

so it was power related

#

thanks for your help

wild mountain
#

No problem 😄
