pi-scan crashes at first "Generating Preview" step #1

Closed narrowdogs closed 7 years ago

narrowdogs commented 8 years ago

I have a raspberry Pi model B+ V1.2 Two Canon A2500 cameras I have a thumb drive plugged into the Pi, plus the 2 cameras and a USB keyboard: nothing else connected.

I downloaded pi-scan-1.0-mouse.img from the link: Raspberry Pi Image (for mouse)

Wrote the image onto the ssd for the Pi, tried running the software, everything seems fine util it gets to Refocus, I press 3, I hear the cameras take photos, then it gets to generating previews and it locks up, then restarts piscan.

I have tried updating the cards for the cameras: no change, I changed thumb drive: no change.

I am a bit ignorant on how to send you debug files, if you can give me some hints, I'll gladly send them.

Alas, Pi Scan needs the extra memory from a Pi 2 or a Pi 3. So it is running out of memory when trying to generate a preview for you. I need to add a more friendly way of detecting and reporting to the user when they try to run it on an older Pi.

Ah, I didn't realize that. I shall order a new Pi forthwith ( nice that the computer is an infinitessimal cost :-))
