What is the problem?

I have an Ender 3 pro printer
I just got a raspberry pi 3 A+ and a raspberry pi camera
I’m powering the pi using the printer psu with a buck converter
However the camera is not displaying anything on the octoprint site.

What did you already try to solve it?

I tried rebooting the pi multiple times. Checked the ribbon cables few times. The camera turns on the pi detects the camera when I check via ssh terminal. But it’s not displaying anything. It says

I tried a different raspberry with the default
Raspbian os with the same camera everything worked

I tried the same pi with Raspbian os it also worked.
It’s just when I use octopi that the camera doesn’t work

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes. Still didn’t work

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Nop

I tried sudo vcgencmd get_camera
And got
Supported=1 detected=1

However when I try
Raspistill -v -o test.jpg
I get this
I checked all the connections
The camera board lights up red

Did you update ? sudo apt-get … I had to do this on mine to get camera working. You can probably just raspi-config to do the update if you’re not familiar with commands in a terminal window
