Camera model raspberry pi 1.3
What is the problem? Settings
What did you already try to solve it?

Is there anyway to get the ability to change settings in octoprint for the raspberry pi camera?
Looks like there are controls for brightness, contest ect.
You can do this with a plugin like
or in the
octopi.txt
on your sd cards boot partition

I honestly didn't realize OctoPrint was for other platforms other than the Raspberry Pi because the vast majority of the Download page is dedicated to OctoPi. It wasn't until I scrolled down further that I realized it isn't just a raspberrypi software.
yup
I use it on an x86 machine myself
