I attempted looking through other forum posts regarding camera issues, but those solutions have not helped my situation. I am trying to do example 7, but am running into issues regarding finding the camera. When typing `rpicam-hello --list-cameras` into the terminal, it responds with “No Cameras Available!” I have tried troubleshooting using other commands, but none seem to recognize the camera. I went ahead and rewatched the PiCar-X tutorial on setting up the FPC Cable (or whatever it’s called – apologies, am a beginner to hardware), and reinserted to the corresponding slots. No avail. Is there something I am missing? ---

Nevermind. I have resolved the issue. Will leave post up so others encountering this will see my solution. **THE SOLUTION** _type the line below into the terminal:_ `sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt` _type the line below into this file:_ camera\_auto\_detect=1 Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X Reboot the Pi Use the command `rpicam-hello --list-cameras` and the camera should appear
