Hello @antonw69
grafik
And the logs you have been asked for ???
They are most precious for help.

Hi Ewald, I will check when I get home in the next 3 hours. I’m not sure how to check firmware on the but I ran, running OctoPi 0.16.0 and when it boots says something about Octoprint 1.13.x but I will check all and revert thank you.

Most of the information like versions are inside the log files.

if pi cam is not working mayby you can try following:
open ssh
type: sudo raspi-config
select 5. Interfacing Options, P1 Camera, enable it by select yes -> enter.

  • It seems that you don't have VL805 (Raspberry Pi 4).
    There should be no problems with USB (a.k.a. select() timeout)
