RPICamv2 doesn't start as an VAOC cam.

Hi, i've did everything according to the information that i've found in this discord channel/available documentation , but i'm having troubles with VAOC, camera basically doesn't start as a VAOC cam, but is available in Webcam section without any issues. Ratos V2.1-rc2 It would be great if someone could support me in that issue. Adding crowsnest config in the attachment. N.B. If i need to share any additional information, please, let me know. I'm kinda new/rare guest here i cannot what i need to share additionally.

Step 1 to Step 3 should resolve your issue if done correctly After that proceed with all the other calibrations below, where it should have the VAOC calibration as well

I followed all the steps in the instructions you provided. I also updated klipper to the latest version. The camera with camera-streamer is not always displayed in mainsail, but also does not work in vaoc. I am attaching the latest logs and information -

Well, the USB camera works successfully in vaoc. Rpi cam configured with camera-streamer does not display anything in camera-streamer mode in mainsail, but displays video in MJPEG streamer. Also fresh logs with debug mode. any ideas?

Have you followed the commissioning for idex? You don't need to edit web cam

update everything. Plenty of stuff outdated... update all the stuff, restart moonraker, ctrl+shift+r and refresh updates. There should be only 1 line for Ratos. Both configurator and configuration and Rpi cam is not set up officialy for VAOC. RR VAOC camera is. You need to direct the device to VAOC. use libcamera-hello --list-cameras (via ssh) to get you camera device ID and try pasting it on crowsnest.conf

should be something like "/base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/ov5647@36" (this device ID is for rpicam v1, just an example)

I don't have /base if it comes from the root of the system

rpi cam v2 was the first cam used in beta but then changed to the cam made exactly for VAOC. The docs are for this VAOC cam... you should have any kind of address. Otherwise the camera would not work also with mainsail. and it shows on mainsail...

Crowsnest just recently made huge changes to the way it works. This is great news, because it should be much faster and more reliable. Unfortunately, it also means that there are major breaking changes, and you'll need to do some manual steps to upgrade. When you update to V4 through the machine tab in mainsail, crowsnest will stop working until...

every single device has an ID. otherwise it means it was not recognized by the system

Im having the same problem with not being able to see my Ratrig VAOC 3DO camera in the visual calibration page. "webcam not found". I followed all the steps everywhere on discord and on the ratrig pages and oddly enough, though I can see the camera video fine through the settings page, that i can see the crowsnest log show the device, when I ssh into the raspberry pi and try to list the cameras via libcamera-hello i get "error no devices found". But when i go through mainsail machine->devices and list the devices, its shown there!!? How to resolve this issue??
