CSI camera on Raspberry Pi

CSI Camera V2

CSI Camera V2 as of Sat 23 Mar 08:47:12 UTC 2024.

Example for newer operating systems (commands libcamera or rpicam-still):

  • copy csi.dist as .env if you want to use Raspberry Pi camera
  • in copied file .env replace token-change-me with the value of the token you copied
  • in copied file .env replace fingerprint-change-me with some random value, which is alphanumeric and has at least 16 chars (and max of 40 chars), for example set it to fingerprint-myprinter-camera-1
  • save edited file .env

Next, test config.
