Hi,

Just completed a fresh write of DietPi and installation of DietPiCam. All working fine here on RPi 3, with v2.1.

Which version of DietPi are you running?

Try running Raspimjpeg manually to check for errors:

Code: Select all

raspimjpeg

On a working system, you should get:

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# raspimjpeg

Rebooted and used both camera modules. (Cable works fine i think, the camera module 1.3 shows a red dot/light)
I'm getting this error:

If you are sure connection is correct (and orientation of cable)
- Camera failure (my v1.3 did this a few weeks back)
- Faulty ribbon cable

Reseat/connect sunny connector:

But lets check GPU memory split is actually applied aswell, run:

Code: Select all

vcgencmd get_mem arm && vcgencmd get_mem gpu

Must be 128MB or greater on GPU.

hmmm well I tested it on 2 different pi's.
clean installations.
3 different ribbons and camera's
I reseat the connector at my camera V3
The memory split value's are right.

The problem is still there.
What else can i try?

Hi,

Let me check your config.txt. Probably easiest to send me a bug report, once done i'll take a look:
