Try moving the module up and down and see if it fixes or creates your issue. That’s the tell. If so, support the cable and get a ticket open. Hopefully it’s something simple like just needing to be reseated or some dirt/debris/moisture in the connections.

Moving the module up and down does not improve the connection. The fact I can move it at all shows some communication is happening.
That movement is actually done by the core, not the module. Perhaps it’s just not cold enough right now?

I’m going to take a look at the connector and wiring harness today. Thanks for your input.

That could be a separate issue. What firmware version is your FC camera?

My front camera started acting up before firmware release, I contribute it to connector issue due to temp, when I look into the female connector there seem to be no pressure pin, so male connector has just enough tolerance to get disconnected when cable is stiffer from cold temps, throwing system of or maybe even bombarding the processor with errors. Unfortunately, I am unable to see any raw data logs it produce to confirm this. I was going to try fix by inserting 1 thou shim into the hole and then connect the connector so in case there are some movements connectors are connected tightly. This fix would be fully reversible, instead of crimping the front of the male connector just a bit to make it wider, which will not be reversible.
So I just need someone from Yarbo or someone who knows the system well enough to tell me exactly which pins are that of the front camera, I could bench test it by figuring out the wires, but then it’s a little bit involvement than if somebody can just tell me.

You’re on the latest firmware for that camera. So unfortunately, that’s not a potential fix for you. As for those pins, I don’t know if it’s any single wires. The module uses Ethernet for communications. I’d imagine you’d have to do all the data pins.

If you unplug the battery does that change anything?

Didn’t change anything for me. I had the battery out for 12hours and it didn’t do anything. Just be careful when front camera is offline, mine went out of bounds and chewed on extension cable, also obstacle detection doesn’t work, snow clearing spoon fell off of the bracket and it also ate it

Oh Boy! I will be careful. Good thing I’m retired. All this problem solving is time consuming.

Yes retirement is a plus for Yarbo, I work more than full time, so I get very little time to mess with it, but Yarbo is good with their support, slow but good!

Dried out connector. Powered down with rear button. Disconnected the battery. Waited 5 minutes before reconnecting. Pushed rear button to start. Waited 5 minutes+ for “ready to work” audio . Checked camera dada.
Will it stay working we shall see.

Congrats! Hopefully it stays working now.
Million dollar question is…. What changed to make it work now??

Maybe going through the whole stop and restart process. Maybe blowing warm air into the connector. I also sparingly used dielectric grease on the outside of the connector to prevent moisture penetration.
Honestly I don’t know

Fingers crossed that this is a permanent fix for you.
