I am back after a year long hiatus. I’v forgotten a lot of what I knew.

I do not get an image in the frame buffer when I run example “helloworld\_1.py”.

MicroPython v1.12-omv OpenMV v3.6.2 2020-05-04; OPENMV3-STM32F765  
Thanks,  
James L. Sullivan

I updated the firmware. The lower right hand reads “firmware version 3.6.2-latest”.  
Still no picture shows in the Frame buffer". I know the camera is taking a picture, the LED lights blink, and my Ptython script file outputs the proper pixel data.

Hi,  
Maybe it has something to do with my OPENMV version. This is what I have.

The newest version is 4.1.2. Do you have internet? The IDE should have auto updated itself if you do. Otherwise, you can download the latest firmware here:

> **[Release v4.1.2 · openmv/openmv](https://github.com/openmv/openmv/releases/tag/v4.1.2)**
>
> Add lsm6dsox driver with MLC support.
> Fix network usage in scripts.
> Update RSTP/RPC scripts to use standard network libraries
> Add basic frogeye2020 driver.
> Fix errode/dilate to work on non-white pi...

See: [openmv/README.md at master · openmv/openmv · GitHub](https://github.com/openmv/openmv/blob/master/src/README.md#work-flow) for what each folder file is.

Hi,  
I downloaded the latest version of the IDE, and then updated the firmware and I now get a picture in the Frame Buffer. Yippey Yi Oh.
