Hi all, doing this for the first time so bear with me…

 

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, and a Arducam CMOS AR1820HS 1/2.3−inch 18MP Color Camera Module.

The cable from the doesn’t match the connector on the Pi. I guess I need some kind of adapter. Can anyone advise me on what kind I need? I’ve tried googling this to no avail.

Hi,

Sorry for my later reply due to our Chinese New Year’s holiday.

You should use this yellow kind of ribbon cable https://www.amazon.com/Arducam-Raspberry-Camera-Ribbon-Extension/dp/B07SM6JTTM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ribbon+cable&m=A2IAB2RW3LLT8D&qid=1581385397&s=merchant-items&sr=1-1

Ok thank you!

I already bought this cable, I think it’s the same?

Translation: “Camera adapter 150 mm for Raspberry Pi Zero”

However, my Pi still doesn’t detect the camera.

vcgencmd get_camera

supported=1 detected=0

Hi,

Yes, It is the same ribbon cable.

The official driver does not support 1820, so you should not use vcgencmd get_camera command.

Please use our MIPI_Camera library. https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera

Let me know if you need more help.

Have a nice day.

Thank you! Seems like it detects the camera now.

Still not working though, what’s wrong here?
