When obcam doesn't work regardless of activation of the flight camera mode

  1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the Raspberry Pi and check log output from obcam.
  2. Execute obcam in the terminal and check the response.
    sudo obcam /usr/local/src/obcam/glm.py
    
  3. If obcam is not installed, install obcam and activate the flight camera mode, referencing the section.
  4. If obcam successfully run in this way, it is possible that the flight camera mode is deactivated. Thus, activate the flight camera mode:
    sudo /usr/local/src/obcam/scripts/activate_flightcam.sh
    
  5. If the shell tells you that /usr/local/src/obcam/glm.py doesn't exist, it is possible that the flight camera mode have never been activated. Thus, activate the flight camera mode:
    sudo /usr/local/src/obcam/scripts/activate_flightcam.sh
