Hello, could you please help us out with the following:
Both my boys have Pi4 and we bought Sunfounder Raphael kits with Pi Cameras Rev1.3. In doing projects, we are unable to get the video camera to work.
When both run “libcamera-hello” in the terminal, they get the following even though the cameras are set up for both:
Made X/EGL preview window

ERROR: *** no cameras available ***
We are stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for the quick reply! We went through all of your steps and tried the solutions on two machines and both got the same results. Thank you in advance for your very kind assistance. Using a camera should be easy, for some reason, we are having huge trouble.
Using Buster: ran : raspistill -o test.jpg and got:
first error was: Camera control callback cmd=0x4f525245mmal: No data received from sensor. Check all connections, including the Sunny one on the camera board
second error: mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
mmal: camera component couldn’t be enabled

Please confirm whether the interface on the camera module is connected correctly. (picture)
Please confirm whether the FFC cable of the camera is connected firmly. Is the direction of the FFC cable connected correctly? (picture)
If you confirm that the above steps are correct, the camera module may be damaged.
3、Use the form of taking pictures to test whether the camera is working properly:
raspistiil -v -o /tmp/a.jpg
If the camera works, you can find a.jpg file in /tmp directory.
I no longer have a Camera option in my new pi.
This new 64 bit Pi 4 has no camera option .
The old system had a camera option .
What am I doing wrong?
I have followed Paul’s YouTube video many times. Everything worked great in your kit till I tried the camera. Is you camera compatible with the new 64 bit with bullseye ?
I’ve done what you said. 10 times
I have two of your cameras. And two cables.
Still does not see camera .
I used the antistatic band and made sure I had not static. As I said before. I followed all the inininstructions from Topteckboy on youtube . All his lessons and and all your kit stuff worked until I got to lessons 44 45 and tried to use camera. I need a solution. Send it back. New camera. New software. What’s next step.
Hello, I am suffering from the same symptoms.
May I ask how you solved the error as follows?

I am having similar issue - I did apt update/upgrade/full-upgrade - I also tried the dtoverlay=ov5647 in the firmware config. My camera is detected but there are no frames show - frontend/backend times out. Please help. I have tried 3 different cables (all work with my other camera) - I have made sure the camera on the module is nicely connected. Here is what I get:

ERROR: Device timeout detected, attempting a restart!!!
I have increased the timer timeout as well - the camera has stopped working completely. Is there a legacy driver I can use. By the way - the latest Rasberrypi OS does not have camera option in Interface in the raspi-config.
From your error message, it looks like the system detected the camera module but could not get the camera data, it is possible that the camera is corrupted. If you wish to use the old camera driver, please use a bullseye system and enable the old camera driver via “raspi-config” and test the camera with the command “raspistill -fp”.
