Import sensor fails

I have a giga with a display shield and an arducam GC2145

the display sketch example in the IDE 2.0 works well: it reads the camera and shows the image. so, hardware should be good then

however, if i flash my giga to openmv with latest firmware and then try to do same, the example script fails on import sensor with

RuntimeError: Failed to detect the image sensor or image sensor is detached.

any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Can you post an annotated schematic showing exactly how you have assembled this. Be sure to include all connections, power, ground, power sources and note any wires over 10"/25cm in length.

thanks! sure: see attached pictures. no wires, just the cam on the shield while attached to the board. again: like this it works with the arudiuno sketch, and fails with the openmv script on the import sensor statement. power via usb c from an iMac 2017.


Hello @eerduino, please could you share the OpenMV code you are using?

Thank you
