Libcamera module not deteced
April 13, 2024, 13:11
(CURRENT ISSUE STATED IN MESSAGES)I cannot enable the camera under interface and the vcgencmd get camera command says it isn't detected, but if I run the command libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg it will take a photo. Does anyone know why this is happening
If I go into the config, it isn't there either
It isnt in the config anymore
Where is it then?
No it's no where. You don't need to enable it anymore
Ah
Okay
I can think of a reason it would just only show 1 frame
Try the libcamera vid command. I forgot it
It displays, and now I'm using picamera2 and it is saying that libcamera module isn't found and I can't seem to find any reason why this is happening
hmm no idea either
I was using this manuel in found and I ran all the commands it said and it is throwing that error
9.7. HDR mode on the Pi 5
The Raspberry Pi 5 has some in-built support for HDR, allowing its use even for non-HDR cameras.
To turn on the HDR mode, use (assuming picam2 is your Picamera2 object)
import libcamera
picam2.set_controls({'HdrMode': libcamera.controls.HdrModeEnum.SingleExposure})
Do you have the Pi 5?
This is the only place in the PDF where "import libcamera" appears.
I'm using a pi4
Then it's probably because it's not working...
Hold on I had an issue like this yesterday
I’ll try to find the commands that fixed it
groups pi
(Checks if pi is a part of the required groups that open the camera )
Then if not: sudo usermod -aG video pi
Thanks, I'll test it tomorrow when I get up and report back
It is telling me both commands don't exist
what command did you run to get no module named libcamera
Hmm that’s weird bc it worked for me
A python script gave the error on an import statement -
from picamera2 import Picamera2, Preview
try this
md sudo apt install -y python3-libcamera
It told me it is already installed and I can't import it in VS code
write
python3in terminal and after that write
import libcamera
try the above
and are you running the script in a venv ?
That threw an error
And no
