Periodic Camera cant be enabled #12

Closed laughingcrow closed 8 years ago

laughingcrow commented 8 years ago

I'm getting frequent ssh messages that the rpi camera is failing to enable:

Running script take_pic_0 ... mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled mmal: main: Failed to create camera component mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates

So far, I've:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo rpi-update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The camera is working and seems to be taking images, but isn't taking them successfully every time it should be. Has this been observed before, any suggestions as to a fix?

Not heard of that, no. As you probably know the camera code is external to the PITS code, so you're probably better off taking this to a raspberrypi.org forum. All I can suggest is that you check the camera connections and the power supply / cable. My guess would be that it's power-related.

Much appreciated, just thought I'd check to see if you guys had seen this before! Cheers, Paddy

Not a PITS issue.
