ArduCam OV5647 not detected on Raspberry Pi 4 (vcgencmd detected=0)

Hi, I’m trying to get an ArduCam 5MP Motorised IR-CUT OV5647 camera working on a Raspberry Pi 4, but the camera isn’t being detected. I followed the manual setup steps and ran the usual checks, but vcgencmd get_camera gives:

supported=1 detected=0

So it looks enabled in software, but the Pi still doesn’t see the camera. I’ve attached a photo of the current wiring/setup below.

Thanks for the details. supported=1 detected=0 from vcgencmd get_camera usually means the camera is enabled in software, but the Pi can’t detect the sensor at the CSI/hardware level. Before we start changing settings, I’d like to see a full camera bug report. Please reboot the Pi and run:

wget -O arducam-camera-bug-report https://github.com/ketai-dhr/arducam-camera-bug-report/releases/download/tools/arducam-camera-bug-report
chmod +x ./arducam-camera-bug-report
./arducam-camera-bug-report

This will create arducam-bug-report.txt in the current directory. Please attach that file to your next reply.

I rebooted and ran the tool. It generated the report, and I’ve attached arducam-bug-report.txt below. I’m planning to use this camera to take images of finger veins, so if there are specific code/config changes needed to get it working, I’d appreciate the details.

Just following up—I attached arducam-bug-report.txt yesterday and haven’t heard back yet. Is there anything else you need from me?

Thanks for the report. Let’s try correcting the boot configuration. Run:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Then follow the steps shown in the screenshot I’ve attached below, save the file, and reboot the Raspberry Pi. The camera needs the correct entries in /boot/config.txt before it will be recognized. After the reboot, run vcgencmd get_camera again and let me know whether detected changes to 1.
