I updated to the latest pi update using the commandline. Also tested:

$ vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=1

I used raspi-config to enable the camera.

Hi @WauloK

A quick forum search gave these:




https://community.octoprint.org/search?q=pi%20cam

The red light on the camera is on. None of those links have an answer so I'll search I guess.
