Pi Camera Klipper Install step by step

want to monitor prints remotely install a pie cam let's do it [Music] hey everyone welcome back to my corner it's me jeff and this time around we're gonna delve a little bit deeper into clipper and stuff like that and i've been using moonraker i think it's working great um but we're 58 fahrenheit it's getting a little nippy right so i hooked up a pie cam up to the trunk see here because i want to keep an eye remotely on my prints so i'm going to show you how i did that right now so hey guys so here it is i've ended up ordering a camera kit for my raspberry pi it's just a very basic camera kit there are better cameras out there i'm not going to be taking any high definition videos or anything so this will work for me i can take video up to 1080p and it can take photos a little bit higher than that so i'll leave a link for this down below it's an affiliate link but it is um from what i've been testing with it it seems pretty good comes in a small box like this it does come with this ribbon cable though and the reason why i actually bought this one was it actually came with the one for the pi zero so what you're going to need to do is just swap out your ribbon cables so you need to lift these black little flaps and you need to pull this guy out okay and then what you want to do is where all your your connect your contacts are you just want to have those facing where your contacts are towards the circuit board okay and you're just going to slide that in and then you're just going to push that bar back down and then that should be it there'll be a little tab on top of the camera you'll have to peel off and then as far as your raspberry pi goes you have the same thing on this side that's your camera connector so again the same thing make sure you figure out what side your contacts are on insert snugly and you want to push that black bar down just like that so now this is all set up and ready to go what i did do was i did print out a camera case that i liked and what it is it's on a gopro mount so because of that and depending on your setup you can um use different hookups and figure out how you want to do this right now i'm just going to do this as a base stand but eventually what i want to do is actually get like a little swivel or something so i can adjust it and stuff like that and i'll look for a stl link later on for that but for now i'm going to build this case now what you're going to need to do i'll leave all the links below this is a separate stl all the case parts r1stl and then the gopro mount on the bottom is a separate stl those will all be linked down below you're also going to need some m5s i think these are m5 oops i think these are m516s let's just double check on that yeah that's an m516 i think this is an m520 yeah m520 so that's what you'll need to build this case and what we're gonna do i'm gonna build it right now okay so i am this came with actually two backs it came with a flat back and the raspberry pi back i figured i'd use the raspberry pi back because i'm hoping you know might give it just a little bit more air circulation you know so it has all the um the pins should line up properly and you should be able to just snug your pie on top of the pins as so you might have to um depending on your tolerances some gentle and i mean gentle persuasion um and then after that it's actually really pretty simple to be honest with you you're just gonna put the backing on and make sure that you're just kind of lined up like so so this is the ribbon cable goes through this side so there's a lower side on here let's see if there's a low side and a high side you want the low side towards where the ribbon cable is going to be so and this is kind of cute it just sort of um once you line it up it will just twist in just like that come on there you go see and then we're simply just going to loop the camera around tickety-boo like so there should be some little holes and there you go just be careful tolerances are extremely tight okay and then you want your camera case or your cover um which should in theory just kind of pop on there and that's it that's uh what we're doing here and then all we're gonna do is attach this mount here and then just grab one of the m5 bolts and wait i'm pretty sure with these you can just hand tighten it's not going to get a lot of pressure or stress or anything on it so and same thing here yeah put the bolt in there actually come to think of it you probably want to run this towards the uh the back of the camera i'm thinking just like so i think that's probably your best bet so just be kind of careful how you're mounting up your stuff and then finally this will just mount in here just like so there's a specific hole for your for your nut and your bolt side again i'll tighten all these up with an allen key later but ultimately this is your little stand here so i'll have to see how she pans out all right beautiful all right let's put her on the printer and see so here we go she's all hooked up um what i did was i actually just drilled a hole and put a boat nut and an m3 screw in to sort of pivot the camera as opposed to sorry for the focus here and pivot the camera as opposed to just putting the swivel on it because it's kind of small anyways but yeah it um looks good see i'll twist it a little so i can do what i need to do so in order to get your camera working you're going to have to ssh into your pie i'm going to use putty because that's what seems to work for me so you're going to have to type your address of your pi in and open it up and log in as pi and use your password clipper install and update helper i believe it's the initials are so it's you're going to run this code here and that's going to bring you in clipper and you're going to type 1 to install and you're going to install for your webcam mpeg streamer i already have it installed that's what you're all you have to do is install that once you have the mpeg streamer installed back out of it and quit and then you're gonna go into the raspi config so you're gonna type space raspi hyphen config and that will bring you into the menu what you're going to do is go into your interface options and you're gonna enable legacy mode for the camera right here would you like to enable legacy camera support you're gonna type yes okay once you've done that you're gonna go to finish and now you're just gonna reboot your pi you can either unplug it once you're done with your raspberry pi config and installing your mpg streamer you're gonna go into fluid so you're gonna type your address and that will bring you up here you're gonna go to configuration you're gonna see there's a new file over here okay it's your webcam text we're gonna edit that now this tells you exactly what to do here um if you just scroll down when you get this these will be hashtagged out okay you want to unhashtag them now the setup that works for me the best is when you go to camera i put usb in under camera options 120 1280 by 720 with 15 frames per second i don't have a problem with this little camera here with any of these extra things um so i've left all of this alone the only thing i did change was these two i believe this had a different thing i just shortened this down a little bit basically this is how i've left it and this seems to work quite well for me the last thing you need to do is you need to go into settings into your camera go into your default camera and you want to make sure this is on mpg adaptive that's what's worked for me you can drop your frames down to 30 if you want and then save it as you go into it currently i'm running about 15 frames a second now that's because i have really bad wi-fi downstairs um but it's very very manageable so and that's it that's how you do this pretty straightforward and simple and it makes it nice that i'm roasty toasty up here and i can actually start a print so i'm going to hit start print and everything's going to warm up and do what it's got to do it's kind of great i really like so that's all it is it's pretty straightforward and pretty simple again i'm no expert i'm just learning about clipper and all the things so if you have better ways to do things please leave them in the comments down below again i'm not using this to record or do time lapses or anything at this point in time i'm simply using it as a way to monitor my prints in case something goes wrong i can quickly turn it off but yeah i really enjoyed this i thought it was really fun to do if this helped you at all give me a thumbs up leave a comment below if you have a better way of doing this because that would help me out if you're cruising through the channel again please hit subscribe help the channel to grow i'll leave you uh the link for the stls for the camera mount um plus an affiliate link for the camera itself down below um so until next time guys thanks so much see ya
