Camera not present
Error while connecting to http://192.168.1.30/webcam/?action=snapshot is what I see when on the window to add a camera. I have a Pi4 and a pi camera 3 using the ribbon cable. Leagacy camera is off. My camera (arducam IMX708) is connected via ribbon cable. I'm not a Pi guy so when I'm told to go to the printer.cfg file and edit something in []s and that [whatever] isn't even there, I'm kinda lost. The rest of the build went great so I might just scrap the camera idea so I can call it done. If anyone could point me to a place to familerize myself with the world of single board computers that would be great. I feel I've bought another project when all i wated was a tool lol.

I've got no experience with a ribbon cable camera. What guide are you following that you're having trouble with? I might be able to help there
Brother I've been everywhere from here to RP web pages and youtube videos. I'm not so sure I didn't get a bad camera as the connection never felt right. The ratrig guide makes no mention of a camera and the setup wizard never mentions one either so maybe it's not ment to use one lol.
I assume you use USB? The camera would have used my last USB port so I went with the Pi camera to free up some resources but that might have been a mistake. I come from the pampered world of BL where everthing just works but they won't build me one big enough to build my designs so I had to build one. Cutting models in 6 peices to fit on a 256x256 bed just wasn't working.
Yeah, my webcam is just a normal USB one
