Ultimaker S3: Camera Not Working

[jasonherngwang 0]

Hi all,

 

I just received a new S3 from 3D Universe last week but have been unable to get the camera to work at all. It's running firmware 5.3.10. In Cura's Monitor tab, when I click the camera icon a grey tint appears on the screen, and the tint goes away when I click again. When monitoring in the web browser (Ultimaker Connect), when I click the camera icon, a black box appears, showing nothing. I know camera dropping is common with the S5 and might be patched in the next firmware (https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/30942-um-s5-camera-feed-stopping/) but wanted to know if anyone had this experience with the S3.

 

Things I have tried:
- Firmware upgrade
- Power cycled multiple times
- Performed a Factory Reset
- Performed several Cura Connect Resets
- Scanned the printer's IP address (192.168.1.226) using nmap. Only port 80 is open, and also 22 if in Dev mode.
- I get nothing when going to "http://192.168.1.226:8080/?action=stream" and "http://192.168.1.226:8080/?action=snapshot"
- In Dev mode, running "systemctl restart mjpg-streamer@0" had no effect
- Opened up the webcam housing, but all wires seem to be intact.
- Forwarded port 8080 on my router (EdgeRouter X) to 192.168.1.226:8080.
- Tried WiFi and ethernet.

 

I've attached the boot log; at the end is where I entered Dev mode and tried to restart mjpg-streamer. I think the problem is that port 8080 on the S3 has not been opened, but I don't know how to do that. Appreciate any advice you can give.

Hi @jasonherngwang, thank you for your message and welcome to the community! 

@nallath could you comment on the ports? Do you know this?

After opening up the bottom panel and swapping the USB drive and camera connections, the USB continues to work, and the camera doesn't. So potentially a bad camera, and not a networking port issue. Ultimaker N.A. is helping me fix. Hopefully a camera replacement will do the trick. Thanks.

Ok, hopefully that was it. Let us know how it goes! Thank you for the update.
