Camera model
Raspberry Pi Camera V2
What is the problem?
Octopi isn't showing the camera at all, no matter what I do.
What did you already try to solve it?
I have tried 3 different Raspi Cam V2 modules, on two different Raspberry Pis (one 3, one 4) running Octopi. I've reseated the cables multiple times. Tried multiple different ribbon cables (including the ones that came with the cameras). Toggled camera support on and off multiple times. Rebooted what feels like 2700 times. Checked, double checked, triple checked that I'm connecting to the camera port, and inserting the cable the correct way (blue side facing the USB/Ethernet edge, contacts facing toward the status LEDs). No matter what I do, none of these are detected. Considering I've eliminated the other variables, it seems like the problem is with Octopi itself.
pi@ender3:~ $ sudo vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=0
This is always what I get.

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

This has been solved with help from people in Discord. If anyone else encounters this issue, there's a second ribbon cable connecting the image sensor to the board. It's very tiny and it pops off if you so much as look at it wrong.
