PiCam Module - UART Serial access

Zoe Karsten — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 10:29:09 +0000

Hello taskit-team,

Can I use the EEPROM pins on the PiCam Module Board to access the Uart Serial pins on the CM4 (GPIO 14 TXD & 15 RXD on the standared Pi)?

If not is there any other way to access the CM4's Uart Serial via this board? Or is USB the only option?

Thanks in advance!

Problem using camera with Raspi OS Bullseye 64 bit

Zoe Karsten — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 10:28:28 +0000

Hello taskit-team,

I have a PiCam module with a Raspberry Pi Camera NoIR V2 - 8MP and a Compute Module 4 - 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC, 2.4/5.0GHz Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 5.0 (CM4102032). Unfortunately, it seems I'm not able to make the camera to work on Raspi OS Bullseye 64 bit but libcamera always returns ERROR: no cameras available

If tried flashing the picam_module210222.img Image and it works perfectly. Any idea on how to make the camera work on Raspi OS Bullseye 64 bit?

Where is the hotspot? How to find Pin1 on HQ-Cam

Zoe Karsten — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 10:26:05 +0000

I love the idea of the PiCam, but I'm having trouble getting started.

As far as I understand, I just need to connect the PiCam board to the CM4 and it will show a hotspot with an SSID of "taskit pi cam", however, I don't see the hotspot (tried looking for it on a Mac and an iPhone).

The red and green LEDs are solid, if that helps troubleshoot.

Additionally, can you please provide detailed instructions about connecting the Raspberry Pi High Quality HQ Camera - 12MP? I want to make sure I won't short circuit it (per your recommendation), but I don't see which is pin 1 on the RasPi HQ Cam.

Appreciate your help!

Thank you

What about the LED Lights?

I purchase and receive a PiCam module. I read several warnings about the incorrect orientation of the flex cable would damage the CM4, PiCam and camera so I first installed CM4 to PiCam Modul w/o the camera. Previously, the CM4 was installed on Rasberry Pi CM4 IO Board as it was working fine in headless mode. When CM4 was removed and install on the PiCam Modul, the red LED stay lit and the green LED flashed a few times. However, I was unable to VCN or telnet to CM4 once installed on the PiCam Modul.
