Camera model
Raspberry Pi camera V2
What is the problem?
The quality of the camera is really low,
this is the image quality i'm getting when just plugging into the pi via ribbion cable
What did you already try to solve it?
What I tried to do is change the octopi.txt file to
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OctoPrint version : 1.5.3
OctoPi version : 0.17.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Configure which camera to use
#
# Available options are:
# - auto: tries first usb webcam, if that's not available tries raspi cam
# - usb: only tries usb webcam
# - raspi: only tries raspi cam
#
# Defaults to auto
#
camera="raspi"
camera_raspi_options="-x 1920 -y 1080 -fps 10"
### Additional options to supply to MJPG Streamer for the USB camera
#
# See https://faq.octoprint.org/mjpg-streamer-config for available options
#
# Defaults to a resolution of 640x480 px and a framerate of 10 fps
#
#camera_usb_options="-r 1920x1080 -f 30"
### Additional webcam devices known to cause problems with -f
#
# Apparently there a some devices out there that with the current
# mjpg_streamer release do not support the -f parameter (for specifying
# the capturing framerate) and will just refuse to output an image if it
# is supplied.
#
# The webcam daemon will detect those devices by their USB Vendor and Product
# ID and remove the -f parameter from the options provided to mjpg_streamer.
#
# By default, this is done for the following devices:
# Logitech C170 (046d:082b)
# GEMBIRD (1908:2310)
# Genius F100 (0458:708c)
# Cubeternet GL-UPC822 UVC WebCam (1e4e:0102)
#
# Using the following option it is possible to add additional devices. If
# your webcam happens to show above symptoms, try determining your cam's
# vendor and product id via lsusb, activating the line below by removing # an$
# adding it, e.g. for two broken cameras "aabb:ccdd" and "aabb:eeff"
#
# additional_brokenfps_usb_devices=("aabb:ccdd" "aabb:eeff")
#
# If this fixes your problem, please report it back so we can include the dev$
# out of the box: https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi/issues
#
#additional_brokenfps_usb_devices=()
### Additional options to supply to MJPG Streamer for the RasPi Cam
#
# See https://faq.octoprint.org/mjpg-streamer-config for available options
#
# Defaults to 10fps
#
#camera_raspi_options="-fps 10"
### Configuration of camera HTTP output
#
# Usually you should NOT need to change this at all! Only touch if you
# know what you are doing and what the parameters mean.
#
# Below settings are used in the mjpg-streamer call like this:
#
# -o "output_http.so -w $camera_http_webroot $camera_http_options"
#
# Current working directory is the mjpg-streamer base directory.
#
#camera_http_webroot="./www-octopi"
#camera_http_options="-n"
After this I'm still getting the same quality
Please run journalctl -u webcamd and see if the log is complaining of anything, and also post the output here.
