    OK. I have got printer printing and before re-flashing SD card with working image had no problem displaying camera. Now the camera will not display. I have OCTPRINT 1.1.3 running and have turned stream on under system. Still not working. Any ideas? Any way to determine if the camera is ok and that I have a good connection? I did re-seat the cable when troubleshooting my previous issue.

    If you reflashed it ... what with?
    About the only suggestion I have is to make sure that the camera is enabled on the Pi:

    SSH/Putty connect to the pi and login then

    "sudo raspi-config"

    and make sure the camera is enabled.

    If your printer is connected to the WiFi you can just connect into it :) FInd the IP address...

    default Pi username and password (probably a good idea to change that at some point)

    Well, as long as octoprint has the camera enabled it should be working.

    Does:

    http://your printer IP address:8080/?action=stream

    work (with your actual IP address substituted in there)?

    K, then it is DD (definitely dead) or at least definitely not on :)
    might be a bad camera...would be the first one I have seen fail, but not impossible

    I know I re-seated the camera ribbon cable while troubleshooting. I hope I did not put it in backwards. Would this damage the camera?

    Normally not. Blue markings go towards front.

    If that is octoprint it looks like a glitch in that version. Mine doesn't do that.

    Nor does mine. Is your RoboOS completely updated?

    It is broken in one of the major browsers, firefox if I remember well. Others have no problem with it.

    Sounds to me like an OctoPrint bug. Now here is the problem, Robo installed OctoPrint in a non-default directory and then they also pointed it to their own GITHUB for updates. So if you went to OctoPrint and asked Gina to fix this she will tell you to install the latest version and you can't because of the reasons I outlined. So even if this is fixed in newer versions of Octoprint, and there are newer versions, Robo doesn't want you to load them so they make it nearly impossible to do so.
