[SOLVED] Raspicam not detected

AstroBox Troubleshooting
#1

I have the raspberry pi 2 with Astroprint v0.10(6) and the raspberry camera rev 1.3.

The camera works in Octoprint but i cannot get it to work with Astroprint.

The web interface of Astrobox under settings and camera say “No Camera Found”, i have tried clicking the button to “Scan For Cameras” and nothing happens.

I have fully updated my raspberry pi using

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

i have gone into interfacing options and made sure to enable the Raspberry Pi Camera

sudo raspi-config

and i am not sure what else i can do. Can someone please assist me?

#2

Did you reboot after applying settings? If so check for video devices with:

ls -la /dev/video*

If nothing is shown then the V4L2 driver isn’t working (we need that)

#3

how do i go about installing that driver?
