Hello, I run helloworld.py in Portenta H7 + Portenta Vision Shield - Ethernet. But the error “RuntimeError: Sensor control failed”occurs. Please refer to the attached image for my environment. For your information, I also try Edge Impulse with reference to the following. [image] Arduino …

Hi, the frame buffer is disable on the top right side. You need to uncheck the disabled button. As for sensor control failed… script looks right. Question, does you camera have some soft foam or etc. behind it? The first version of these shields have a shorting issue where the camera backplate cou…

Hi, I don’t really know why, but the image is now displayed. I’d like to see how this goes for a while. Thank you.

@kuma Do you have any idea how it was fixed?

In the end, it returned to the original state. The error “RuntimeError: Sensor control failed” occurs again. So far no solution found.

Okay, I’ll do some more debugging.

Hey everyone, I consistently face the same issue whenever I disconnect the Portenta H7 entirely from the PC. Although the problem gets resolved, and the camera functions properly when I ‘install the latest development release,’ once I disconnect it, we’re back to square one. Specifically, I encoun…

Thanks for the information. It sounds just like we need a special recovery routine for this camera. I’ll have more info soon.

Did some debugging. I think my unit stopped working. I’m no longer able to get it to do anything other than be discovered on startup. It never passes reset with any firmware I try. I’ve asked Ibrahim for help on this. I’m not sure if this is a firmware issue, though. The particular Portenta board I…
