VAOC Camera Error while connecting
Hello 🙂
I had my VAOC camera up and running and everthing worked like a dream....untill....
I tried to add a second webcam to view the chamber while printing, this also worked, got an image but lost the image of the VAOC cam.
I set everthing back to the original settings, so went back to the old settings in Crowsnest and now the VAOC camera will not work despite the fact that the Raspberry PI reckognizes the VAOC cam.
Are the settings for the VAOC cam also stored in another part of RATOS? Can't figure out what is going wrong.

Any suggestions?

I just tried the same thing and lost my VAOC camera. had to wipe out the added camera to get it back. ><
To get the VAOC camera back i had to delete the webcam all together from the setting window and reboot
Got it! here ill share what i did 🙂
SSH into your pi and run
ls /dev/v4l/by-id
this will give you the ID of your webcam AND the VAOC camera
you will need them both
then create 2 webcams in the settings.
name the FIRST VAOC or what ever you like but it VAOC had to be first. and use the default stream address
second one name whatever you want but chagne the stream address
/webcam2/?action=stream ( I sued port 8081 so /webcam2/ ( look in crowsnest.cfg it has a list at the top!
here is my crowsnest.cfg
Main thing is look at the commented out Device: I changed it from /dev/video0 to /dev/v4l/by-id/" Device ID "
I now see 2 webcam in mainsail 1 being the VAOC and second being my chamber cam
