Okay, the touch button has been implemented. I'll see about testing this under a Pi cam now. It's coming.

@thetobyde - Sir, I just tested this with my PiCam and it works just fine. You have to enable the camera interface via the raspi-config tool, but it appears to be working without any additional code from me.

Nice! So do I have to „update“ the module and it will work? Or just put the „useCam“ thing in my config? Von meinem iPhone gesendet

You should be able to enter sudo raspi-config to bring up the configuration menu. Go to Interfacing Options and then highlight "Camera" (it should be the first entry). Enable the camera interface and then Finish. You will be asked to reboot, which you should do.

If you have a USB camera, unplug it from the Pi. Once you have a connection back to the pi, test the camera with the following command: raspistill -o image.jpg. When it gives you the command line back, do a ls to see if the file image.jpg is present. If it is, then your camera works.

At that point, use the MMM-Selfieshot as usual. No need to update the module. I don't know what "useCam" is. Where are you seeing this?

hi... when use "raspistill -o image.jpg" i see this "the system should be configured for the legacy camera stack"
but when i try .. "libcamera-still -o image.jpg " my picamera Noir take me a photo.
in 2023 I had to download the "libcamera-apps" to have the function of cameras.

I tried the normal configuration -- but nothing happens.
I also tried the configuration where it says to mash but nothing happens (I was not mashing the button as touchscreen but via mouse)

The latest version of Raspian uses a new camera stack. You can enable the legacy camera stack by following the instructions I listed above to enable the Pi camera. It's just labeled as "legacy camera support" rather than enabling the camera entirely.
In short, use sudo raspi-config to get into the RPi configuration, then turn on everything camera related that you find in that interface.
