Looks best under Computer Components

UPDATE: Mmmm. Yes. Turns out I had *TWO* bad wires on my Pi. Once I replaced them with the ones that came with the cameras (too short for my purpose) they work great. And they focus too! I just keep the one I wanted to return. :) ORIGINAL (BAD) REVIEW: But I can't get my RPi 4 to recognize it. The classic RPi camera is recognized and works fine. There is no technical support for ArduCAM and there is no answer on the ArduCAM forums to my question what could be wrong. Again, vcgencmd recognizes the RPi camera, but not this ArduCAM. And I currently have three ArduCAMs but none of them are recognized. I tried them on an RPi3 and two RPi 4s with Raspbian Buster. I think I'll return them at some point.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Useless features
