Hi! First congrats for your great project 👍

I built from scratch step by step PiSight project:

  1. flashed pi os image to my pi zero
  2. enabled camera & serial interfaces from raspi-config
  3. cloned your project and launched your bash script

Results:

I thought Apple idVendor could have conflicts so I tried to change idVendor from Apple to another (for example TP-Link => 0x200, listed here https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/) but with same result: on my Mac PiSight doesn't work.

Could you suggest me what i could check? Maybe some logs?

Anyway thanks again! Lewix

Thank you! Glad you're trying it out.

Whether you have issues with the camera stream may also depend on the piece of software you're running to consume it. I've found QuickTime to be most reliable. Maybe try that?

@maxbbraun today I noticed an update of Dave Hunt project: https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH2G16YoBT4&feature=push-fr&attr_tag=ZatzxTeeD8FzI4M5%3A6 This one has also a ready to go Pi0(W) image (little, it fits on a 1GB sd card) and it works on my old MacBook 2010!

I keep open this issue for info but feel free to close it.
