#Camera Shows up in the OS but Mainsail shows no signal.

I had to reimage my Pi and restored the files from the old image but my camera does not appear to be working within Mainsail. I can take a picture from the terminal of the pi so I know its working and hooked up correctly. I just see a No Image message within the camera settings of the Klipper screen.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Showing up in the OS does not mean anything for the stream in Mainsail. It just means, that the camera is connected

#

As you can see in your log, there is only one device and that device is not /dev/video0, so you just didn't configure the cam

And now it's working, or what do you wanna tell me with your config?

#

If it's still not working with your changes, I need the following:

  • Set log_level: debug and delete_log: true in your config
  • Save & restart
  • try to look at the stream once on the dashboard or webcam panel
  • Send the new log

I cannot say for sure, I don't have one

I will ask the rest of the crew for testing

#

You could try to run cd ~/crowsnest && make update maybe it works ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

Backup the crowsnest folder first

cd ~ && cp -r crowsnest crowsnest.bkp

Well ill take it!

#

I do have a Pi 3 that I can use instead of this pi 2 but It feels like the Pi2 can run the printer just fine

I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm using an RPi 3B+ and a Pi Cam v1.3. Every time the printer is powered on or restarted, the camera doesn't work unless I press the "Restart Crowsnest" button first โ€” and even then, it only works sometimes.

When I try running libcamera-hello --list-cameras via SSH, I get:

pi@stray narwhalos:~ $ libcamera-hello --list-cameras
No cameras available!

I also checked the crowsnest.log file and there's no device ID shown โ€” just something like:

Detected 'libcamera' device -> /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/ov5647@36@36

But now it only detects a 'raspicam' device at /dev/video0.

@Mr Yel, Iโ€™ve already followed the guide from this link:
https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam

But I still get the same result.

@Mr Yel, could you please help me get my RPi camera working normally again on MainsailOS like it used to?

#

like this every time I am so hot the camera printer doesn't work before it is fine, somehow.

Somehow, everything was working fine at first. I had never experienced issues like this before โ€” every time I turned on the printer, the camera would start working immediately. In the crowsnest.log, a 'libcamera' device used to be detected like this:
Detected 'libcamera' device -> /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/ov5647@36@

But now, it only detects a 'raspicam' device at /dev/video0.

And don't ping me!!!!

@frosty storm also writing me in dm, just because you want fast help, is not a nice way, to ask someone for help
