Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

I unfortunately never found a solution to controlling my two arducam cameras because of the i2c issue, however, I think my issue was product specific because if it wasn't it would defeat the purpose of i2c (being able to control multiple devices through the use of addresses). I ended up purchasing t...

Re: Ethernet port lamp not working

I had a similar problem, my hdmi connector came a little loose but all the solder connections are still secure, just the two large side pads. The power supply and sd card is perfect but I get no hdmi output and no ethernet lights, I can't tell whether the system boots, all three lights are solid red...

Re: StereoPi Not Booting

@Lashchev, I'we wrote you personal email for quicker solution of this problem. Please answer. :) What is the solution? I have a stereoPi with a lite compute module. I tested that the sd card was good by inserting it into a regular Pi with raspbian and it worked perfectly. I also tested my power sup...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

I’m not exactly sure where the current drivers are but I must have them in my folder to get any camera to work at all right? If so, I think the driver code is inside https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/blob/master/RPI/lib/libarducam_mipicamera.so which is a binary compiled c code file. I can’t lo...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

Wow I can’t believe I’ve never seen that, I basically used the arducam function and re wrote the capture2opencv cpp to initiate two cameras with a camera structure containing the valid StereoPi pins(but for i2c I did bus 1 and chose the gpio pins for sda and scl) then I used the arducam capture func...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

Yes, when I remove the camera in the default csi port and only use the camera connected to i2c bus 1 through gpio wires, everything works perfectly, I get images and can write & registers.

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

I have dt_param=i2c_arm=on and dt_param=i2c_vc=on in my config which means both busses are enabled. In my /boot folder I have all the default dtb files that came with raspbian and in my overlays I don’t see a StereoPi dtbo. I never downloaded a stereopi os, just regular raspbian. When I run with one...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

Update: I have soldered new i2c lines to one of the cameras and kept all the other pins untouched. Now, when I enable the cameras using the arducam function I still can't write to the registers of the cameras and when I use i2cdetect 0 and i2cdetect 1 it only shows the addresses on bus 1, even thoug...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

Yes, I understand that the pi is a hobbyist tool and not too much more. I think the breakout boards might be popular considering that most people who use the StereoPi will be using the same camera and odds are it is a rather inexpensive camera with no way to change the i2c address. On the flip side,...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

I know I'm shocked at how rare this seemingly common breakout board is! Luckily, my teacher can make a custom pcb for me to break out only the i2c lines of the csi cable and replace them with the gpio pins that support i2c bus 1. For now I have tested it by scrating and soldering onto a spare ribbon...

Re: CSI interface and i2c bus

Thank you so much for reviewing all the options, I considered the other ideas, however, I had been thinking especially about the second option you mentioned since I already have the stereoPi. I was not sure if it would still work if I just replaced the i2c lines with the gpio pins that support i2c b...

CSI interface and i2c bus

It appears that both csi ports on the stereoPi are attached to the i2c bus 0. I have chosen to use two arducam OV9281 cameras but they both have the same address (60) which makes register modifying unattainable. To fix this I was wondering if it is possible to change the bus of one of the csi ports ...
