Stereo camera not working

Post by stefb »

Hi,

I've bought the StereoPi v2 Camera Kit, and I've followed the tutorials in the wiki to set up the Stereo v2. It boots, and I've been able to do some testing by connecting keyboard, mouse and screen. The cam0 is always up, but not the cam1. I've exchanged cameras, and only the cam0 is working. I've also changed the ribbon cable with other ones I possess, but nothing change. cam1 is still not detected.

I don't know what's causing the issue.

Hello stefb,

Since you've been using keyboard and mouse, I guess you're working with OpenCV Python image.

Could you please share the output of this console command:

Code: Select all

vcgencmd get_camera

okay, so your system is correctly configured to see two cameras, but it sees one cam only. And I see you've done cam/cables swaps.

Could you please email info@stereopi.com with your address and order details? We'll choose the best way to replace your board.
