Camera on Pi Zero

Following this tutorial for just the camera: Setting Up the Pi Zero Wireless Pan-Tilt Camera. I have a Pi Zero W and the original Pi cam connected. on the webpage keeps saying Error in RaspiMJPEG: saying to rerun install.sh start and in putty the error is mmal_component_create_core: could not create component ‘vc.ril.camera’. Can this run on a pi zero? Ideas?

Thanks

It should run on a zero, you might have a bad camera. A lose camera cable can cause this as well, make sure you have the connector the right way around. If it’s in the right way, disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable just to make sure everything is seating correctly.

I reloaded Pi with OS lite and tried a still, it wouldn’t detect camera. redid connections (think the connector from camera to the pcb wasn’t plugged in all the way. Retired this and it now works.

Thanks,
