Oak-1 Camera Stopped Working

abraa

Hi, I am using an Oak-1 USB autofocus camera in my automated insect camera trap alongside a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. I was using it to take frames of a specific background to train a model. It worked for that task and then, after shutting down and reconnecting, it was no longer able to be detected by the Raspberry Pi. When I input 'dmesg -w' and 'lsusb | grep MyriadX' nothing happens. I am quite new to working with these materials so I am unsure what exactly I did wrong to have it stop working. I have checked all the wires and the Raspberry Pi and they are all working fine. I have other Oak-1 cameras that have been doing similar tasks and have not stopped working. Do you have any suggestions or do you think this is a hardware failure? I am currently doing fieldwork for my PhD in Croatia so a fix would be ideal before considering replacing the whole camera.

Thanks!

Hi @abraa
How are you powering the OAK-1? RPi zero is not capable of doing that. Any chance you can plug the OAK into a PC and check with lsusb?

Thanks,

Hi @jakaskerl

It is powered with a portable battery that is connected to the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. It does work that way as I have two more of the same camera that work just fine connected this way.

Thanks,

@jakaskerl and when I connect the camera to the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and have it connected to power, when I run lsub, there is no response.

Hi abraa

abraa lsub, there is no response.

No found device or no response from the command? Can you try a different host to see it it works there?

Thanks,

no response from the command. I am getting a replacement sent from Luxonis since it does seem like a hardware failure. Thank you.

Hi abraa
No response from the command would indicate libusb issue, no? That would mean other devices won't be found either.

Thanks,

I have two other Oak-1 cameras and both get a response. I have three camera systems and the camera never has a response no matter which Raspberry Pi it is connected to.

Hi abraa
Ok, perhaps something got fried on the device. USB OAKs should be pretty stable.

Thanks,
