VOXL 2 Camera Connected but Not Feed
-
@tom ^ (Reminder)
@Wesley-Gunawan Hi Wesley, I faced a similar issue recently. I was using IMX678 Hires Camera in J7U. The camera was detected when I run
voxl-camera-server -l, even the green led light on the sensor glows but I didn't get any data run I runvoxl-inspect-cam -a. I had an alternate IMX678 camera and without changing any config, I replaced it and it worked. I don't know what is wrong with the first sensor. I should probably do RMA, but yeah, if you have another sensor, give it a try! -

It needs to match a camera config found here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-camera-configs/
Often when a camera can't be found:
- it's installed backwards
- the cable isn't fully connected or the connector is damaged
- the wrong camera config has been configured during setup

Hi, the camera is connected correctly because when the configuration or installation setup isn't correct, voxl-camera-server wouldn't even detect the camera's connection, in this case it does, but no input from the camera has ever been acquired. Here is the image of the setup:

Is there any other information you need to help me debug this issue? It's been over a week and I need it working as soon as possible or else I have to return the whole kit. As for the camera defect possibility suggested by a user in this forum last week, I already tried swapping the camera and it still doesn't work.

@Wesley-Gunawan It looks like you are using a C08 config. https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-camera-configs/#c8---hires-only
Have you tried
voxl-configure-cameras 8?voxl-camera-server documentation for troubleshooting recommends running
voxl-camera-server -d0. Can you try that and paste the output? -

@Wesley-Gunawan did voxl-inspect-cam show anything while voxl-camera-server was running? it looks like you restarted voxl-camera-server while voxl-inspect-cam was running.
I think the proper steps are:
- update config (done)
- reboot VOXL 2
- run voxl-inspect-cam -a
