Adding USB Camera

Note

• A plug-and-play camera that does not require drivers is needed, and it can be used with Klipper under systems like Linux and Armbian without the need for additional drivers.
• This tutorial uses the latest Klipper, crowsnest, and Fluidd as examples. For other methods, you will need to research on your own.
• For the FAST system, please refer to the tutorial below.
