Camera Connection and Usage

Connection and Configuration Notes

• Connection Method: The D8-Pro motherboard connects to an external camera via its USB-A port, which is then recognized and configured by the host computer.
• Camera Requirements: Please use a driver-free, plug-and-play USB camera. Such cameras can be used directly in Klipper on Linux, Armbian, and other systems without requiring additional driver installation.
• Software Environment: This tutorial is based on the latest versions of Klipper, Crowsnest, and Fluidd. If you are using Mainsail or other tools, the configuration principles are similar. Please refer to their official documentation for specific steps.
