Vaoc - not working

Hello, tried to get VAOC cam working, unfortenately it doesn't show anything. In the Vaoc tab it only shows "Webstream not found" I followed the official intruction guide and the Commissioning Guide. Tried also to get a usb cam and a raspbery pi cam working, both failed to work.

Is there anybody who could help me on this? @Helge Keck do you have an Idea. Since i can find all pluged cams via ssh in the Pi it might be an Software issue

I want to jump on this ticket as well - attaching my debug.zip for review

not really, try to turn it off and on again

I am adding relevant data to an issue that multiple people have encountered. Why have multiple posts on the same issue?

Helge Keck•6d ago

maybe @miklschmidt has an idea how to debug this. he knows the camera stuff much better than i do i guess first step would be to make sure the camera works in the first place you could use libcamera--hello for example

miklschmidt•6d ago

I will need a debug zip @Anrot that's for CSI. the VC4 uses a usb camera.

Helge Keck•6d ago

right as i siad, i know a shit about cameras 😆

Attached above for your review.

miklschmidt•6d ago

Make your own thread, and i'll answer you in there

Helge Keck•6d ago

it could be you are facing a completely different issue, even if the symptom is the same. creating a own thread makes sense

@miklschmidt sorry for the delay. My debug.zip:

You have a second cam installed, so use the correct path for VAOC:

Tried this but doesn't work

Anrot•5d ago

but when i try this it seem that the camera is seen by the system

Anrot•5d ago

miklschmidt•5d ago

Please update Must be an old version Ah, no it's not, i forgot to copy the stupid udev rule even at video0 as you have configured. Will investigate the log. Ah.. @Anrot [logicam] isn't valid.. it would be [cam logicam] or [cam 2] [cam logicam] might not even work, i recommend following the crowsnest recommendations and calling it [cam 2]

Anrot•5d ago

Thx that solved the issue with the other cam but VAOC is still not working

[10/27/24 13:41:40] crowsnest: WATCHDOG: Lost Device: '/dev/RatOS/rr-vaoc-camera' Seems like USB problems Can you show me how you have your usb devices plugged in?

Anrot•5d ago

The left bottom is VAOC but i tried also other ports

miklschmidt•5d ago

Put your MCU's (controlboard, t0, t1, beacon) on the waveshare and the camera's on the pi 2.0 ports. If it still doesn't work, disconnect the logicam thingy

Anrot•5d ago

Both tried but it doesn't Work either

miklschmidt•5d ago

before or after we fixed the crowsnest config problem? Because that would've prevented anything from working. And did you reboot in between tries? like power off, swap plugs around, power on. Or unplug logicam, reboot, try VAOC again. Wait, you should probably try powering this thing (see the usb-c "power only" plug). and if you haven't yet, make absolute sure you've pulled off the V_USB jumper on your EBB42's If you're still having problems, try:

[crowsnest]
log_level: debug

[crowsnest]
log_level: debug

then restart crowsnest, launch VAOC, then download crowsnest.log (or debug zip) and post here.

Anrot•5d ago

Yes i restartet after it, V-USB ist not briged. Log:

Anrot•5d ago

logs-20241028-081837...

Anrot•5d ago

I tested the cam on a PC. It is seen by the PC but doesn't show a picture.

miklschmidt•9h ago

that sounds bad when you disconnect the logicam everything fails because you still have it configured in crowsnest.
