Problem enabling Raspi Camera V3

May 09, 2023 Last reply: 3 years ago 1 Replies

Hi



I have made a bird box camera using Raspberrypi Zero W, a NoIR camera V2 and Motioneye software. This works but the image quality is poor, reddish. This maybe to be expected as there is no filter for infrared light. The frame rate is very low. It would probably be better with a Zero 2 W as I had hoped to get, but it seems to be almost impossible to find one



Anyway, I boght a Raspberry Pi Camera V3 Wide Noir, and this is for me a bastard to get going, so I hope for some help. What I have done is the following:


- Using a Raspi 2B+ for the experiment



- Installed Raspberry Pi OS 4.3



- updated and upgraded firmware and software



- enabled Legacy camera in raspi-config



- in /boot/config.txt changed a line #dtoverlay bla. bla to dtoverlay imx708



Now the camera is recognized, but when i test it in Terminal with command libcamera-hello, I get the following: raspberrypi@raspberrypi:~ $ libcamera-hello libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate Made X/EGL preview window [0:02:56.515014951] [1242] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:299 libcamera v0.0.4+22-923f5d70 [0:02:56.764306317] [1255] INFO RPI raspberrypi.cpp:1476 Registered camera /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx708@1a to Unicam device /dev/media3 and ISP device /dev/media0 [0:02:56.767270699] [1242] INFO Camera camera.cpp:1028 configuring streams: (0) 2304x1296-YUV420 [0:02:56.768360754] [1255] INFO RPI raspberrypi.cpp:851 Sensor: /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx708@1a - Selected sensor format:

This is absolute gobbish for me, so please anyone?



Best regards


The problem was probably caused by "Legacy camera" being enabled in raspi-config. Turned it off, and now i can get still pictures and videos. Next step is creating a full screen video-stream.

Best regards
