i sent them…is there anyway to post them here?
by the way i did the function
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
sudo /etc/init.d/astrobox restart
then once the camera started to work, i went into settings and it wouldn’t allow me to connect to the camera but it would work in monitor mode…
Help!?!??!!
It’s a bit lengthy, so probably not the best idea. @Daniel will be able to see any abnormalities pretty quickly as he has seen plenty of log files.
I can’t find the logs, how did you send them? The don’t show up in the log queue.
I clicked “Send Logs”
Got them. We’re not ready for the raspicam until the next release 0.9(2) which is coming out next week.
That’s cool, I can wait.
So I updated to 0.9(2) today with hope of Raspicam working…
Why no work still?
The raspicam is now supported but until we create a flashable image there are a few extra steps that you need to do:
Enable the raspicam in the raspberry pi with:
sudo raspi-config
Add the v4l2-driver
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
This should allow you to detect your camera. This won’t be needed when the image itself enables the support.

The camera works fine standalone, I can run raspistill and get an image. Astroprint is still unable to find the camera even after running modprobe.
v4l2-ctl --overlay=1
Failed to open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
camera works before print starts. after print starts, camera stops working. says “gst-stream-error-quark: Internal data flow error. (1)”
This is likely due to lack of memory and or processing power. Which platform do you run?
raspberry pi 3, pitft and a raspicam
Daniel it has been a couple weeks, Are you saying that the Rasp 3 does not have enough memory and or processing power to run Astroprint and the Pi Camera?
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
returns
FATAL: Module bcm2835-v4l2 not found.
What image are you using? The 0.9(2) already loads the driver on startup so attempting to load it again might fail
I am using 0.9(2)
I only tried loading the driver after the camera failed to load from startup.
No matter what I get No Camera Found
raspstill works though
Are you sure the driver is not loaded? can you run
sudo lsmod
to see if you see the driver loaded. The “Not Camera Found” error might be something else.
It works perfectly on v0.10(0) with my Raspberry Pi Camera v2 
Thanks for your help !
