Fix your tags #readme

#

Also send a crowsnest.log

#

And just fyi, this post isn't from us, but the guy who posted this, found it and shared it at first on this server. Overall I don't have the camera and therefore can only help with the details provided in this post: https://discord.com/channels/758059413700345988/1090261571063783564
Inside that post there is linked another post that got a lot more information

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 10:38 PM

Open your crowsnest.conf

And then read through it and set the values I said

Did you add it inside Mainsail? Top right on the settings icon and then there is a webcam settings page

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:01 PM

what i cant understand

cant see

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:02 PM

Now click on add webcam on that picture

#

Without a webcam added you can see no webcam....

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

oh

#

i see it

#

Should I make any adjustments here?

#

Should I fix fps etc?

#

max 200+

#

cam fps

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

languid marlin max 200+

200+?!?!?!?!?!

#

You should set a maximum of 30 and I recommend to lower it even further down

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

set 999

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

wispy crow You should set a maximum of 30 and I recommend to lower it even further down

Why isn't higher better?

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

Your cam can only put out 30 fps.....So anything higher will give you only double the same frame

#

You can get 1 Millionen frames if you want, but if your cam only output 3 fps you only get those 3 frames and nothing more

#

And no you cannot simply increase it inside the crowsnest.conf......

#

An important note. You might have to run ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 ~/image.jpg again after you rebooted the pi.

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:08 PM

wispy crow Then try `ffmpeg -i /dev/video2 ~/image.jpg`

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:08 PM

languid marlin Why isn't higher better?

Also why would you need 200 frames, to watch your print?!

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:09 PM

#

languid marlin video2 works

You might want to try it with video0. I think that should work already and you don't need to stop crowsnest for that

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:09 PM

#

It generally gives less lag in games, is there a load on it when you remove the limit?

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

Ofc there is a load......Like in your games....

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

We just tried it and it gave an error

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

Also you might be right, but first of all your monitor is most likely not capable of 200 frames, so it doesn't even matter..

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

languid marlin We just tried it and it gave an error

I thought both gave the error?

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

Damn, is 30 enough? What would you suggest?

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

I use 15

#

And your cam isn't capable of more than 30 anyways.....

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

Yes, they both said the same thing, but the last one we tried, y/n, asked.

#

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

Also this isn't just a load on your CPU of the PC but also on your poor network, as this is some huge amount of data that get's transferred

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

languid marlin Yes, they both said the same thing, but the last one we tried, y/n, asked.

This will appear with the other one too now

#

If you read that message, it just says that the file you want to write to is already there. Why? Because we wrote to that file with the other command directly before that

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:13 PM

#

oh

#

im didnt readed it

#

mb

#

Can I change the location of the tabs on the dashboard?

#

And is moonraker and mobileraker compatible? Can I use them both together?

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

languid marlin

Just go to the dashboard settings that you can see at the left top of your screenshot there

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:16 PM

#

languid marlin And is moonraker and mobileraker compatible? Can I use them both together?

Mobileraker needs moonraker, so yes

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

The webcam is showing too big, can we make it a little smaller?

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

wispy crow Mobileraker needs moonraker, so yes

or can we connect applehomekit to homebridge(i have homebridge on synology nas) etc?

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:20 PM

#

languid marlin or can we connect applehomekit to homebridge(i have homebridge on synology nas) ...

I don't know, I don't have such things installed

Nope, you cannot resize the panels

Yes, because that supports 1080

#

But we cannot use /dev/video0

#

We can only use /dev/video2 of that cam with crowsnest

#

And there it doesn't support 1080

languid marlin Dec 14, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

So what should I do?

#

720x576 ?

wispy crow Dec 14, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

It also explains why it's so huge in your panel. Because it's a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of 16:9

#

640x360 should be better for the height/width ratio

#

That way it should get a bit smaller

I just noticed this place, I searched for help on Klipper Discord for almost 1.5 days.

I saw your cryptic message there too, but that information there was useless tbh.
First of all you pinged James, maybe without context, I don't know. Then you just said, your usb cam is not working, and then some output from lsusb?
Like I said, we are all doing that in our free time and without payment, James too.
So I recommend to give always as much information as possible, that the supported don't need extra time just to find out the actual problem

Never mind, I couldn't understand what you wrote. James is my favorite guy. He helped me a lot with my raspberry installation and previous problems.
