Any reports on wheter this Work, or?
The raspeberry camera working is the GO or NO for me, so rather important.
Yes the Pi camera is now supported. Make sure the software is updated to the latest release.
Great news. Probably a good idea to update the FAQ’s to reflect this.
cheers,

Sorry for replying to an old thread but I have a problem with my raspi cam. I have v0.8 installed and can get it to work by running the modprob command but if I reboot the pi I have to issue thcommand again. Isn’t this latest release of astro supposed to take care of that?
@Troy_Williams Have created a new sd card with 0.8? or just updated the software over the air? You would need to create a new SD Card for this fix.
I just updated from an older version. I did get ti to work however by adding the modprobe command to the modules file.
I may re-create a new SD card soon to clean up some of my messing around.
Thanks
Yes, that’s what the new image would have done for you.
New here, just installed AstroBox-rpi-0_9_0-20160602, updated through the webapp but Astroprint can still not find raspicam. This command ‘raspistill -o cam.jpg’ works so I know the camera is working anything else I need to do?
Hey Daniel, I just want to make sure I am clear. Raspicam is supported in stills but not video, correct? I can get stills to work, but I cannot get video to work.
Video in Chrome 56 is broken for some reason. Video with the raspicam is supported and should work on FireFox, older Chrome version and hopefully future ones too
Here is something strange that I don’t understand. Using pi camera v2, I can view video or snaps on my Mac and Samsung pad using Firefox. But when I try the same thing on my iPhone or iPad, it tells me I am using Safari and it’s not supported even though I am in fact using Firefox. Same thing happens when I try google chrome. Any ideas?
Firefox ( or chrome ) in iOS still uses the safari engine underneath. It’s a limitation of iOS

So I can’t do this on an iOS device? Wow…
That is correct @John_How Apple is still working on their webRTC support. Not really something we can help with.
I had some issues and had to reflash my SD card. I then had to set up the raspicam inside Astro box. This took me forever to figure out.
The bit about how to log into your astrobox to run raspi-config (for noobi’s and idiots like me) should definately be included in the setup instructions. For me on a mac, it was so simple once I found out how. Just ssh pi@astrobox-xxxx.local. PW "raspberry"and run sudo raspi-config… but I did not know. So please include in setup instructions and just say ignore if you don’t have a camera.
Thanks and sorry bout the soapbox attitude…
For noobs the raspicam is quite complex and we discourage it
It was a piece o cake when I found the simple answer…
Hi john, can you help me with the steps??
