Raspistill not working & can't get PiCamera to work

Mycodo Mycodo Issue/Bug

Thanks you all in advance for your help! I had my system working well on 8.12.9. Since upgrading to 8.13.7/9 I am unable to get my HD Pi Cam working again.

Running 8.13.9 on a Raspberry Pi 4 with the HD Pi Camera with two Atlas Scientific sensors and a 20x4 LCD

When I try to use Raspistill to capture a still, I get this error.

  • Error: Could not acquire image.

My second issue is when I try to add PiCamera, I get this error.

  • Error: Add Camera: The picamera device you’re trying to add has unmet dependencies: picamerab==1.13b1

So I click on Install Dependencies button and it completes install.

Then I go back to add a PiCamera under Camera, and I get the first error again.

  • Error: Add Camera: The picamera device you’re trying to add has unmet dependencies: picamerab==1.13b1

Thats as far as I can get. I don’t see anything in the daemon logs for this. Thanks again!

Picamera has been deprecated by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It is recommended to use libcamera.

Thanks so much! libcamera works.
