Ender 3 Klipper Conversion - Stage 5 - Camera Setup & Remote Access

Configure Raspberry Pi camera for Mainsail – Klipper & Set Up Remote Access.

Camera Setup

Step 1: Get your device path

Open crowsnest.log and look for an entry like this:

[05/25/23 19:12:07] crowsnest: Detected 'libcamera' device -> /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx708@1a

Step 2: Set your device path

Open your crowsnest.conf in Mainsail and look for the device: entry. Now set the device to the one, grabbed from your log.

device: /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx708@1a

Step 3: Change mode to camera-streamer

Now you have to use camera-streamer as your stream service with:

mode: camera-streamer

After you finished these steps, please click on SAVE & RESTART. Now your camera stream should show up.

Step 4: Add Webcam

Go to Setting > Webcams > ADD WEBCAM then add a webcam.

crowsnest.conf file example:

[crowsnest]
log_path: /home/elgatoguiri/printer_data/logs/crowsnest.log
log_level: verbose                      # Valid Options are quiet/verbose/debug
delete_log: false                       # Deletes log on every restart, if set to true
no_proxy: false                         # If set to true, no reverse proxy is required. Only change this, if you know what you are doing.

[cam 1]
mode: camera-streamer                       # ustreamer - Provides MJPG and snapshots. (All devices)
                                        # camera-streamer - Provides WebRTC, MJPG and snapshots. (only RPiOS + RPi 0/1/2/3/4)
port: 8080                              # HTTP/MJPG stream/snapshot port
device: /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/ov5647@36                 # See log for available devices
resolution: 640x480                     # <width>x<height> format
max_fps: 15                             # If hardware supports it, it will be forced, otherwise ignored/coerced.
#custom_flags:                          # You can run the stream services with custom flags.
#v4l2ctl:                               # Add v4l2-ctl parameters to setup your camera, see log for your camera capabilities.
