IMX 519 Will not work

Camera model
IMX519
OV5647 (Working)

What is the problem?
Camera will not show up. Other cameras work so I know its not the hardware.

What did you already try to solve it?
Factory reset the PI. Installtion instructions from here.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=0

So it supports the webcam but cannot detect it. I have bought 2 of these cameras thinking it may have been a faulty one.

Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)
Logs kept saying pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo: /var/log/webcamd.log: command not found
-bash: sudo:: command not found

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ journalctl -u webcamd

The camera needs drivers, a modded version of the streamer and other stuff.

This guide will help you step by step

But I would use the latest OctoPi nightly from the Pi imager instead of the older one from the guide

thanks! tried it again with a nightly and it worked.

Only issue I am having now is I can adjust the focus from the plugin. It keeps giving an error from the control panel of "Trouble accessing camera. I2C bus failure. Is camera plugged in?" but I can adjust the focus from the plug in itself

5

You do have I2C enabled, correct?

Yes, as far as I know. I went into the config options and enabled it and rebooted.
