so i bought a new pi 4b 4gb and installed raspian 64 bit and have added a firewall and updated everything but in sudo raspi-config interface options there is no camera option nor in prefrances and i keep getting hat not detected

oops.se

If no camera is detected check your connector, view a tutorial on how to install the camera and clean the connector with isopropanol to get rid of dirt and such.

Its not the connecter i think its the soft were cos its a brand new pi

.ashthedash

I just cant get the camera option in sudo raspi-config

oops.se

That is because the Pi doesn't detect any hardware.

.ashthedash

Ah ok

.ashthedash

It was working on my old pi

.ashthedash

But that one is shot to hell and back

.ashthedash

I belive at some point my mum slipped and like yanked the cable out accidentally so it might be the cable

oops.se

You can buy a flex cable, just search for it.

.ashthedash

Yeah

.ashthedash

I will try that

.ashthedash

But until that the build hat isnt detecting

Ok i found another cam cable i had in my box o pi stuff

.ashthedash

Tried libcamera-hello and got some video

.ashthedash

Its working i just have the lens rlly dark

.ashthedash

Er

.ashthedash

When i put the build hat on the pi and turn on the pi it starts boot looping

.ashthedash

I shutdown the pi but its been on this screen for 5 mins

.ashthedash

Wait what

.ashthedash

It timed out?

.ashthedash

Its fixed

.ashthedash

Also i got the hat to work

.ashthedash

The motors now spin

oops.se

How?

.ashthedash

I un pluged it and plugged it back in

.ashthedash

And for the build hat i just needed to plug in both the pi and the build hat power supplys

.ashthedash

There still isnt a camera enable option but when i use the rpicam commands it works so my problems are solved

oops.se

Nice

.ashthedash

Also look at this

.ashthedash

I call it the pi box mini

.ashthedash

The last one of them i made was this one

.ashthedash

Much bigger box
