Openmv H7 : FATAL ERROR:Failed to detect the image sensor or image sensor is detached

OpenMV Boards
1

I don’t know what I do, when I connected my openmv H7 with an micro usb-cable, It took me a long time to connect. After the connection was successful, sensor is displayed as “none” through the prompt in the lower right corner of IDE(2.8.1). In ERRORLOG, it displays: fatal error: failed to detect the image sensor or image sensor is detached. I tried to erase the internal file system but it didn’t work.

Was it working before ? You can try to remove the sensor and reattach it maybe it’s not seated properly.

Yeah, 5 days ago it worked, then I installed openmv on my robot. Maybe there was some collision during the installation。
I don’t know how to reattach the sensor. Could you give me some help?

Oh,I’m sorry that I have encountered another problem. When I use H7 or H7 plus, I always encounter “busy… Please wait”. I have to try to connect several times before I connect successfully. Maybe caused by data cable?

Just remove the screws on the back, remove it and reattach it.

I’m not sure could be a software issue or it could be the USB cable, you should try a different one just make sure it’s a data cable.

ok, i’ll try it, thanks

I found that when I run my own program, it will cause error “busy… Please wait”, but when I run the examples, it will not.

You must be missing some initialization or something please follow the examples. I can’t read what you posted, I can’t figure out where code starts and where it ends. Please edit and fix your post.
