SparkFun JetBot Kit Camera not working

I’ve managed to successfully assemble the JetBot, login and setup WiFI and even control the robot. However, when I attempt to do anything with the camera I get an error “Could not read image from camera.”. I’ve been poking around the system logs and it doesn’t appear that the camera is being recognized.


RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/jetbot-0.3.0-py3.6.egg/jetbot/camera.py in init(self, *args, **kwargs)

29 if not re:

—> 30 raise RuntimeError(‘Could not read image from camera.’)

31

RuntimeError: Could not read image from camera.

Can someone give me some pointers on what to check?

Thanks,

Mitch

Hi Mitch.

We think you may have a bad camera. Can you private message me your order number so I can take a look?
