We are encountering an issue while trying to use the Arducam 12MP IMX477 Pan Tilt Zoom(PTZ) IR-Cut Switchable Camera with the OAK-FFC-3P board.

We followed the standard procedure by cloning the depthai-python main repository and installing the necessary requirements using python utilities/install_requirements.py. However, when we execute python3 utilities/cam_test.py to test the camera connection, the script consistently reports that the camera is not detected.

Here is the output we receive

We are unsure why the camera is not being recognized by the OAK-FFC-3P board. Is it a compatibility issue?

    Check if it's connected to CAM_A, also check ribbon orientation, it's the opposite of what you'd expect sometimes.

      Will it work the same for the IMX477 Pan Tilt Zoom(PTZ) camera because we actually were the trying to use that camera with the 3P and 4P boards rather than the MIPI CSI interface.

        I can't guarantee the PTZ will work with 3P/4P since arducam started using some IC that has a custom communication protocol. Older versions worked fine - without PTZ control support obviously.
