I am happy to report that I resolved the problem with the camera cable. It required some modifications which I have photo documented and will include in this discussion. I did not have to purchase another special FPC camera ribbon cable, which would have certainly broken if I persisted in trying to get it to fit. All I had to do was put a notch in the Pi 5 Power Switch Converter board to allow a more or less vertical approach of the ribbon cable to the motherboard camera socket.

This is the modified Pi 5 Power Switch Converter board:

The incision was made in the part of the board without any circuits.

The finished product shows the ribbon cable securely fastened with a slight turn visible. I didn’t want to cut more than half of the board for structural reasons. Not much tension on that area anyway:

I have tested it with some of the tutorial demo scripts and it works great. Can’t wait to try some of the Hailo demos in the GitHub repository.

I will end with a quick question. When the script is running in the CLI, it looks like a video of the object identification is being recorded. I was going to poke around in the file structure to see if I could find where they are being saved. Seems like there was a note in the CLI log though, saying that a permission was required to create a log file. I’ll figure that out too in the coming days.
