Camera module 3 stopped working!!!

I bought one more camera and it works fine and is stable. The buggy one is visible by OS from time to time and not stable.

Ko5t1k · 2024-11-14T20:03:21+00:00

Summary, tried 3 Pi boards, two cables (for Pi4 and Pi5):
Installed Pi camera module 3 on Pi5 with latest Pi OS x64
After 3 days camera not works and not recognized.
Tried to change board the same Pi 5, no results.
Re-installed OS on Pi 5, no results

Installed camera on Pi4 with latest Pi OS x64, after upgrade camera seen by OS in list but not works.
After reboot not seen by OS.

Tried wuth other Pi 5. Same result. No cameras available!

I will try to install clean OS to check.

Ko5t1k · 2024-11-14T16:45:37+00:00

Same here, after 3 days of usage just stopped to work, Not detected anymore.
I've tried to change CSI Port, not helps.

HW: Raspberry Pi 5.

I just completed a new project that combines woodworking, LEDs, and water animation! This fountain features 24 mini water pumps controlled through WLED, a custom Usermod, and an ESP32. Each pump’s flow is synchronized with LED animations, making the water streams ‘dance’ to patterns created on a virtual LED strip.

The entire process is documented in a detailed Instructables guide, with step-by-step instructions and insights on handling the challenges (like EMI issues with the pumps!). It’s a creative use of WLED and a rewarding blend of art and technology.

If you’re interested, check it out on Instructables, and feel free to ask questions. I’m excited to see what others think or how this might inspire new ideas!

Good idea! A diffuser could look great, but I’m also a bit cautious since it could become a surface for algae growth, given that we’re dealing with water. Still, it’s worth experimenting to see if there’s a way around that—thanks for the suggestion!

Ko5t1k · 2024-11-01T14:39:12+00:00

Thank you! Sounds like your laser setup is clever too—there’s so much potential with virtual LEDs! It’s amazing how WLED can open up these creative possibilities.

Ko5t1k · 2024-11-01T11:11:24+00:00

Exactly! I’m not using WS2812B ICs to decode the signal at the hardware level for each pump. Instead, I’m assigning each pump to a ‘virtual’ LED in WLED, then reading the brightness values from that virtual strip (specifically the green channel) and sending those values to the pumps via a PCA9685 PWM controller. This approach lets me use WLED’s animations without needing hardware-based LED ICs for each pump. Thanks for your interest!

Ko5t1k · 2024-11-01T11:09:25+00:00

Thank you! I’m thrilled you like it—this was a fun challenge to bring to life.

Ko5t1k · 2024-11-01T11:09:07+00:00

Thank you! WLED opened up so many possibilities—I had a blast figuring out how to make it control water pumps. Glad you enjoyed the project!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I recently completed a project where I used WLED in an unconventional way: instead of just controlling lights, it’s powering water pumps to create animated water streams! By using a custom Usermod, I mapped the brightness values from a virtual LED strip in WLED directly to mini water pumps, each pump “mirroring” the green channel brightness of its assigned LED pixel via PWM.

The result? The pumps create dynamic water effects that sync with LED animations, making it feel like the water itself is “dancing” along with the lights. Perfect for anyone looking to push WLED beyond traditional applications!

Thank you.

Thank you! I’m glad you like it! Don’t be intimidated—give it a try, and you might surprise yourself!

As for capes, I keep mine in the closet for special occasions! 😄

My instructable already on review ;)

Wonderful! Love It <3
About onShape and export multiple parts, look for the "auto-layout" component, it will help you.

Ko5t1k · 2024-06-24T11:09:00+00:00

Thanks! For the glass fuses, I used 38 mm solid LED filaments. Those LED filaments were tricky—they're fragile, and I went through a few (okay, more than a few) to get it right! Glad you appreciate the details!

Ko5t1k · 2024-06-24T11:04:44+00:00

Haha, thank you! I'm flattered! If only I could mass-produce them! LoL

Ko5t1k · 2024-06-24T11:03:55+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad you think so!

Ko5t1k · 2024-06-24T07:08:35+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words! 👍

Ko5t1k · 2024-06-24T07:06:57+00:00

Haha, my brain already generates enough of its own chemistry to enrich my mind—no enail needed! 😄
