The Raspberry Pi Thread [2]

do you mean the blue writing on the cable or the blue end of the cable

The blue end of the cable. It has a blue tip/strip on one side and the bare contacts on the other. I put the side with the blue bar across it on the same side the locking bar is on. If you redid your SD Card, don't forget to run the sudo raspi-config and enable the camera.

with the camera hooked up and you turn on the pi ,does you camera have a small red light or green light on, when you send the raspistill -o cam.jpg command

I can't see the LED, the mount covers it over. Where is the led at? And how easy is it to see?

I can see a red glow on the card when I run raspistill -o cam.jpg. It's lit up as long as the video is on screen. It goes out again when the window closes.

shit.. all I get is red , and the cables is install correctly

So yours is red all the time?

EDIT: Have to go for a bit, back in an hour or so.

ESD is a concern, especially for stuff like that with no case or cover over the electronics. Mine lights up red while the video window is open, then goes off again. You have the ribbon cable in the camera port (CSI) right, not accidently in the display port (DSI). They are identical, would be an easy mistake to make. I'm going to go watch some football. I likely won't be online again until tomorrow. Will check back then.
