I'm currently facing an issue where my Raspberry Pi camera is not detected. However, I did manage to use the camera once before it stopped being detected. There was always a tiny light at the corner of the camera that is always on. After ending the python program which used the camera, the light went off and I could not seem to get it to work again.
When I ran vcgencmd get_camera
in the command terminal, the output was supported=1 detected=0
.
I tried running my python code again but the error shows
picamera.exc.PiCameraError: Camera is not enabled. Try running 'sudo raspi-config' and ensure that the camera has been enabled.
Upon seeing that it was not "Enabled", I went to check my configurations and it was already enabled. So I just disabled it and then enabled it again just to be safe. Then, same error came up.
Right now I'm really lost as I've tried everything I found online.
- Enabling I2C
- Reconnecting the hardware
- Changing camera
- Tightening the connection between the port and cable
I also discovered that when I power on my Raspberry Pi, the camera has a tiny light that flashes for a while before going off. The same tiny light that was always on before.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME, this is a school assignment due tonight...
PI 3, V1.3 Camera, running latest Raspberry Pi OS 32Bit, followed this post to revert Bullseye POST
If there is a DESPERATE need to revert to the old camera stack, then it is possible. Edit /boot/config.txt, remove the line "camera_auto_detect=1", and add "start_x=1" and "gpu_mem=128". Rebooting at this stage will reload the old V4L2 driver. Stop at this point if that is sufficient for your needs.
