SPI Issue: Pi with Mini Multi-Camera Adapter Board

[hunterbryant]

I successfully setup my pi to run a single OV5642 through the standard GPIO pins found in this link: https://github.com/ArduCAM/RaspberryPi/issues/7

I purchased one of the mini adapter boards and am trying to setup the Raspberry Pi to take images from the 4 OV5642 camera modules. But, I am getting SPI errors for all of the 4 SPI interfaces. I am trying to run ./ov5642_4cams_capture. I am having trouble figuring out why this is happening. Any help is appreciated

@hunterbryant Four cameras running simultaneously require external power.

@UCTRONICS I have connected power through the micro usb connection on the adapter board, still does not change anything

[hunterbryant]

Any idea? @UCTRONICS

@hunterbryant How about using two cameras?

[ArduCAM]

Make sure you can run each camera alone at a time before connecting multiple cameras.

@UCTRONICS @ArduCAM I can run each camera alone straight through SPI off of the GPIO pins. I can't get one working through the adapter board

[hunterbryant]

@UCTRONICS @ArduCAM still cannot figure this out. Camera modules will run individually through SPI to the GPIO pins but not through the board

@hunterbryant Sorry for reply you so late. Don't worry and I will test it again tomorrow.
