Arducamfor Raspberry Pi Camera with Motorized Lens, Adjustable Focal Length for Monitoring 3D Printer, 3.28FT/100CM Long Extension Flex Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi

Using this with a Rapberry Pi 3b+ and Octopi 0.18.0. I am using the long cable to run from the LCD of my Ender 3 Pro to the X axis motor area (2d code).I was originally going to replace this as I thought it was broken, but I ended up getting it working. I started with a fresh Octopi install and it worked instantly (I had been trying to get multiple cameras working). Make sure you didn't mess something up before you call it garbage.I have this mounted to my X axis motor on my Ender 3 Pro and I can't complain on the image quality. I can see layer lines on the parts closest to the camera without issue. Autofocus works, but I currently have to boot the Pi and then restart Octoprint to get the plugin to handle focus for me. I'm sure this is my fault and the point is, the autofocus works nicely. It's great to be tweaking things without running back to the printer to make adjustments. I think it's a solid value.Also... I was confused about the red light. It blinks once at boot, then is steady red when streaming. Don't assume it's broken because the light isn't on.

Einfache Installation und super Funktion

This worked for my octoprint on my rasbery pi

As a quick check, I loaded the most recent stable build of OctoPI (0.18.1 with OctoPrint 1.8.6) on a PI4.After initial, standard setup without adding any plugins, the camera works with auto-focus.The target 3D printer is currently running on a PI3 B+ with Mainsail. I will attempt to get that running next.

Works on Pi 4 — works with OctoPrint
