Hello everyone. Can I use a Creality camera which is usb with my rasberry pi 4? I am using my rasberry solely for 3d printing. I have been using the ribbon style camera and wanted to give my dad (who isn't using it lol)
I bought a Crealitybox with a Creality camera for myself quickly to find out that it has connectivity issues and is far inferior to the rasberry pi (I am an impulsive buyer). So I was hoping to combine the camera with the pi. I plugged it in but it is not working.
It should be compatible, since it is a USB webcam that does output mjpeg according to the specs. Th question is whether it has anything different in it that is not supported by Linux.
So if you have it plugged in, run lsusb (over SSH to the Pi) and see if the device is listed. If it is, run v4l2-ctl --list-devices and paste the output to see if it is recognized by the Pi.
Hi, it might be an old post, but I have the same question, whether or not the Creality camera can work with Octoprint. I have done suggested above and here is the result.
pi@octopi:~ $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices

Hi, did you manage to make it work?
It seems CREALITY CAM works just with Creality Wifi Box?!?
I am also looking for a solution to use this camera with my pi...
The problem with this camera is that the specs says it supports mjpeg, but in reality it does not. It should technically work by installing the octopi version that uses the new camera stack which supports h264, but I was not able to get it to work yet. It's just a shitty camera overall.
Were there ever any updates on this? I was able to get the new camera stack to detect the camera with the following logs after setting the config to 5264 but the camera still does not work. This is the output from the camera service on octopi
