I have a small USB camera, works fine with opencv, works fine with V4L2.

When I run bCNC on my machine with a python2 install, the camera works. When I run bCNC on the same machine with a python3 install, the camera does not work.

Do you have opencv module installed for python3 ? You might only have it installed in python2.

IIRC my camera started working when I installed some PIL OS packages. Ex:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk python-pip python3-pil python3-pil.imagetk
