### Basic Information:

Printer Model: BLV CUBE  
 MCU / Printerboard: Octopus pro  
 Host / SBC pi4  
 klippy.log

_Fill out above information and_ _ **in all cases attach your** _ **`klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_  
_ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _

The camera can be found using the rpicam but I don’t know how to add the camera into Klipper. I had a previous Klipper/pi version on a 2nd pi4 I swapped the SD card and the camera works fine and comes up in klipper.

I just can’t get the camera working with the latest version of Klipper and Linux

Hence reaching out here and on the raspberry pi forum. I know it’s just a simple config setup. Thanks all

Thanks all

Did you include crowsnest in your new install?

Please upload a klippy.log and a crowsnest.log
