Owlsight 64 MP: upside down?

Raspberry Pi Cameras
1

I have this working very nicely on a two-camera CM4 system along with the fixed focus wide imx708 camera. This is in my /boot/firmware/config.txt:

dtoverlay=imx708,cam0
dtoverlay=ov64a40,cam1

and rpicam-still --list returns:

I have the camera mounted in the expected way, with the cable coming out from the bottom of the camera module. I take a picture like this:

rpicam-still --camera 0 --nopreview  --autofocus-on-capture=1 --output capture.jpg

I get this (scaled down):

a suburban scene in Scarborough, Ontario - except upside down
a suburban scene in Scarborough, Ontario - except upside down1152×864 157 KB

The imx708 camera takes pictures the correct way up.

Should the Owlsight be doing this?

Hi,
How about adding the rotation parameter…?

That would work, but it means I have to treat the camera differently from all others

Hi scruss,
You can refer to my setting in the config.txt file. As you can see, I have connected owleye camera to the CAM 1 port on the CM4 board.

dtoverlay=ov64a40,rotation=0,link-frequency=360000000,cam1

I referred to this link, love and support from 6by9 LOL:
