![]() ![]() ![]() Remove the # from in front of the line that starts with camera_usb_options to uncomment it. If that’s the case, you’ll need to add one yourself. NOTE: Some people have reported not seeing a “camera” entry at all in their octopi.txt file. Make sure to remove the # at the beginning of the line, otherwise changing the line to read camera="usb" will have no effect. The line might be commented out, indicated by a “#” (pound, or hash symbol) at the beginning of the line. If you followed the standard Octopi setup, ssh’ing into your PI should be as simple as this:Ĭhange the text camera="raspi" (or it might be camera="auto") to camera="usb". Be content with running the RPI Camera Module and one USB camera. The cameras won’t mount as expected - I suspect because of limitations of Raspberry PIs in general, but I don’t know for sure. You might be tempted to connect 2, 3 or 4 USB webcams to your Raspberry PI. Once you have the PI and PI Cam up and running, follow the instructions below to get a second (USB) camera working with your Raspberry PI. You’ll also need to know a little about getting around a Linux command line and using the nano text editor. You’ll need to get that done first before moving on. ![]() In this post I don’t explain how to install Octopi 0.17/0.18, nor how to attach and get working a PI Cam. His instructions are great and I wouldn’t have found a solution without his videos, but they are geared toward hooking up USB cameras - not both a Raspberry PI camera and a USB camera. He has a series of videos on how to set up an Octoprint multi-instance on one PI on Octopi 0.17. I searched on YouTube, my favorite DIY resource, and found Chris Riley’s Chris’ Basement channel. Octopi 0.17 is significantly different from previous versions, so I couldn’t rely on the tutorials I had used before. When I upgraded Octopi - a Raspberry PI Linux distribution that comes with Octoprint pre-installed - the USB camera stopped working and I couldn’t figure out how to get it working again. The main camera is a Raspberry PI camera that hooks up directly the PI via a ribbon cable, and the second camera is a Logitech C510 webcam that I plug into one of the PI’s USB ports. To keep an eye on my prints, I have two cameras hooked up to the Raspberry PI on which I have Octoprint installed. I use Octoprint to manage my Prusa MK3 3D printer. ![]()
