IMX378

[Dentonknifeworks]

I got one and it's running in Allsky, But it's in black and white.
The camera shows to be working in color when using libcamera-hello -t 0 so I know the color is working.
Has anyone else gotten this working? I see one on Facebook working so I think I am just missing a simple config item

Thanks

@Dentonknifeworks Make sure Saturation in the WebUI is set to 1 or higher. 0 produces no saturation, which is the same as black and white. If this doesn't fix the problem, change the Debug Level in the WebUI to 4, then press "Save Changes" and do a

tail -f /var/log/allsky.log

It'll show you the libcamera-still command being used - look at its arguments. There might be something causing a problem. Feel free to post them.

You can compare those arguments to what libcamera-hello displayed for things like brightness, contrast, etc.

I believe the IMX378 is the older version of the imx477 in the HQ camera, correct? Same resolution, capabilities, etc.?

Ding ding ding and Saturation was the issue.
Set to 1 now and now have color. Funny thing I had never played with that setting before. I think you are correct on the IMX378 is the older version of the IMX477. What I like about this is it has a 190 lens on it already and looks nice and clean much smaller package. I will have to set it next to one of my HQcams for a comparison.
Thanks for the help.
