Question: balena dash with RPI camera #136

Open abhatikar opened 3 years ago

Hello,

Why does the browser block not detect the rpi camera and USB mic that is plugged in ? Am I missing something ? I tried my same web application on chromium running on Raspbian, and it works perfectly.

I wanted to ask before I build something... :)

Thanks AB

Hello,

I would recommend posting questions on our forums.

Why does the browser block not detect the rpi camera

the rpi camera requires additional settings. You can read more here

As for the mic, I'm not sure. Perhaps you need to enable udev. Can you check kernel logs to see if the mic is detected?

You can refer to the docs

Thanks
