      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

              then it’s really strange that you can’t find the driver, did you wrote v412 or v4l2 ?

              looks like you typed 1 but it should be a lowercase L

                      I just typed in the sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 and it returned nothing so I’m guessing that’s a good thing LOL

                        So this is what I’ve done and it solved it…

                        I took your sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 and entered before I started the mirror and no more error so I started the mirror in dev and it was registering movement…Great!

                        So I closed the mirror and restarted… same error, driver not loaded…

                        so I did this in case of a power out,e tc…in a terminal window:

                        sudo crontab -e

                        Enter this on the last line:

                        @reboot sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

                        Saved and exited.
                        Reboot
                        Restart mirror in dev mode
                        NO error and tracks movement
                        close mirror and restart in dev
                        NO error and tracks movement.

                        PROBLEM SOLVED!! Thank you guys for being patient!! It’s working.
