Plugin

http://plugins.octoprint.org/plugin/ArducamCameraControl/

Description

A plugin to control your arducam camera with motorized and ptz camera on octoprint.

Install

Please follow the manufacturer's instructions:

I2C

This plugin uses I2C to communicate with the camera. That is not enabled by default. The ArduCamFocus plugin will not function until you enable I2C. ssh to your octopi and enter this commands (this only needs to be done once):

if ! grep -Fxq "^#ArduCamFocus$" /boot/config.txt; then
sudo cat << end_of_file > /boot/config.txt
#ArduCamFocus
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
end_of_file
fi

After executing the above command, the file /boot/config.txt should now have the commands to enable I2C. In addition, you have to enable the I2C kernel module using raspi-config. Again, ssh to your octopi, and then enter this command:

sudo raspi-config
  1. select "5 Interfacing Options"
  2. select "P5 I2C"
  3. raspi-config will ask, "Would you like the ARM I2C interface to be enabled?"
  4. select "Yes"
  5. you should see, "The ARM I2C interface is enabled"
  6. select "Finish"

Smbus

Install smbus

pip install smbus

Plugin

Install plugin http://plugins.octoprint.org/plugin/ArducamCameraControl/

After you reboot, the camera should become operational in OctoPrint

Settings

arducamcameracontrol's Issues

No longer works with OctoPi 1.0.0

Not sure what happened. But I upgraded to OctoPi 1.0.0, ran my usual install process to enable Arducam. It no longer recognizes my 5MP OV5647.

Less Manual Install Steps

If you update the line here to be plugin_requires = ["smbus"] then OctoPrint will automatically install smbus for you.

Pan-tilt not working in Octoprint

Im using the Upgraded Pan-Tilt Platform SKU: B0283. It works with the demo software from an SSH session but the OctoPrint plugin doesn't seem to recognize it at all. All the buttons are inactive.

Needs better installation instructions

nothing seems to work in installation instructions.

The steps to enable I2C via ssh resulted in
-bash: /boot/config.txt: Permission denied
I had to use 'sudo nano /boot/config.txt' to add the lines manually.

when I try to enable the I2C kernal module using the raspi-config I get:
image

The step to install smbus 'pip install smbus" does not work, says something about pip command does not exist
this worked only after I did this line 'source ~/oprint/bin/activate' only then the 'pip install smbus' worked.

I see the focus bar but can not grab to drag it.
