Just as a "proof of concept" I am trying to use the "use phone as a web camera" option that is on my Pixel 7a - this works with Discord and OBS on my PC. I know, it's a different kettle of fish, but I would have thought that Crankshaft would also be able to detect it.
Admittidly I have to change the mode that the USB is in to change it, but I would have thought that once I have chnaged the momde it would be detected by Crankshaft as I can see that the phone disconnects then reconnects once in webcamera mode.
So far my testing today I have been using SSH into Crankshaft and it hasn't gave me much sucess; I enabled the raspberry pi camera in the raspi-config as instructed to in the Wiki but that hasn't helped; all I'm getting is a saying that the module cannot be detected (most likely cos I don't have one) and when I tried the crankshaft rearcam show command it didn't show me anything.
Obvioulsy I'm a little lost on this, and before I rush out buying multiple parts and finding things that don't work, I would rather have a look to see if I can get it woulding using the USB camera feature on my phone.

I would like to setup a reversing camera using Crankhaft.
From looking at the Wiki, it seems to want to use a Raspberry Pi camra module (or one that uses the DSI connection)
I have also seen this issue: #407
So here's my problem at the moment:
