Picar-x Camera not Working

Robotic kit for Raspberry Pi
1

Hi,

I am testing Picar-x for the class, but the camera module has some issue.

I am using Raspberry Pi 5 and connected camera with it correctly.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rpicam-hello 
[0:15:00.677258018] [2702]  INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:340 libcamera v0.7.0+rpt20260205
Made X/EGL preview window
ERROR: *** no cameras available ***

It did not detect any camera module, even I confirmed that /boot/firmware/config.txt has the linecamera_auto_detect=1.

I tried with the official Raspberry Pi ai camera module ( https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-camera-module-3/ ) with the same connector, and it worked well.

I am not sure what is the problem with SunFounder Camera module.

Judging from the error log, the camera module was indeed not detected.
Please send us photos showing the connections at both ends of the FPC cable.
Please check if any components on the camera module have come loose. You can gently press the camera module with your hand to verify.

Hi,
I am not a student at beginner level in this field. I am professional in this field.
Please see the photo attached.

I said I was able to see the video streaming by using the Raspberry Pi AI Camera with the same cable connection.
