Is there a way to test the camera separately?
plugged in individually they both have worked. I'll test again. it seems like once two cameras are connected it either only recognizes one, or just shows black.
ssh in and check the
/dev/serial/by-path
and see how they show up individually?
Maybe with both theres a conflict there/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index0
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index1
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_Rat_Rig_VAOC_Camera_3DO-video-index0
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_Rat_Rig_VAOC_Camera_3DO-video-index1
try a triple backtick (key left of 1) to surround that
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index0
like that?
or do you mean save it in crowsnest like that?if you do three of them, you get a block like:
nah, just discord formatting suggestions 😛
ah gotcha
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index0,
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index1,
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_Rat_Rig_VAOC_Camera_3DO-video-index0,
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_Rat_Rig_VAOC_Camera_3DO-video-index1
if it shows up as
index1
there at the end, it does seem to be seen as a second cam. Hm.
Not sure, I've only got one camera on mine and it worked pretty easily. Not something I've wrestled with much
now individually I struggling with each. this VAOC cam does not play we;; with others
*does not play well with others
It is USB, maybe connect it to your computer/laptop to make sure they're still working?
connected to laptop each works
this rpi/klipper/mainsail/crowsnest deal is mind boggeling how well they trip each other up when things go awry
good sign
If you know what you're looking fo, its all there. But thats a hard part 😛
*for
thats for sure, trying to take it in stride and work toward being more selfsufficient lol
try looking at crowsnest.log
oh, maybe try lowering the resolution. Maybe the pi is struggling to do two FullHD streams?
I'll give that a try, think I gotta start from scratch with this VAOC now. it really is a picky camera
got the VAOC working again
makes me consider setting up a second RPI to run any more cameras 😂
Figured it out
# /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index0
# /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-3DO_3DO_NOZZLE_CAMERA_V2_3DO-video-index1
"index1" set previously, changed to "index0" and it works.
ah, interesting!
Does that mean it would work if you plugged the wecams in in the correct order, but not if reverse order?
dunno, its weird because VAOC is "/dev/video0" while the enclosure still endes with that "index0". guess I assumed since they were different ports the suffix should be different, oddly not the case. Just happy it works!. Next steps are chamber lights, finishing printing my touchscreen mount, then nozzle cams.
