Troubleshooting

Not seeing your camera?

  • Check your wiring:
    • is power supply plugged in PIO?
    • is USB properly inserted in PIO?
    • is USB properly inserted in your computer?
    • is the camera properly plugged to PIO?
  • In doubt, unplug/replug, sometime it could be "half plugged"
  • If you still not see your camera listed, maybe you're missing the serial driver
    • On Windows : click the EXE file from this
    • On MAC: click the PKG file from this
  • Reboot, then retry
