Support for RPI Camera Module 3

[jollywombats]

Good Evening,

Has anyone been able to get this to work with the RPI Camera Module v3 by chance? Uncertain how to get it to work with that one as it just does not detect it, guessing due to the different driver library.

Thank you!

I only have the original camera module so never tried a V3 module

Hi,
I am a trying to run the rpos code in Rasppi4 ..when I run the rpos.js I am getting following error
rtspServer error: Error: spawn ./bin/rtspServer ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:268:19)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:470:16)
at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:84:21) {
errno: 'ENOENT',
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'spawn ./bin/rtspServer',
path: './bin/rtspServer',
spawnargs: [Array]
}

looks like rtsp server is unable to start...need to know what changes need to be made in addition to all the installation done.
Kindly let me know .
Thanks
Ravi

Hi @jollywombats
Is it possible to give me some remote access to a Pi with Camera Module 3 and then I can take a look?
Or did you get your problem sorted?

[jollywombats]

@RogerHardiman Sure. Shoot me a PM and we can arrange something for this via ssh tunnel to the device.

If you could get the cam3 module working + latest rasbiain version on a pi0w2 I will buy you the cam3 module :)

I don't know how to PM you via github. But you can email me. My email address is on rjh.org.uk
