Adding a USB Camera

Important Notes

• A plug-and-play camera that works without additional drivers is required. Such cameras are generally supported in Linux, Armbian, and other systems under Klipper, and no extra drivers need to be installed.
• This tutorial uses the latest Klipper, Crowsnest, and Fluidd as examples. If you are using other methods, you will need to research them yourself.
• For the FAST system, please refer to the tutorial below.
• Camera Connection and Usage

Tip
