Hi there,
As electronic engineer this is my advice for BlueWave guys:
You have a LARGE gap of improvement related to the documentation about how to make work the external hardware (camera, bluetooth, etc) with OpenAuto pro.
OK, community will help you a little bit with that load. But, keep in mind that good programmers invest almost same time in documentation as in writing code.
The following recipe (or something similar) should have been included in User Guide page 36
Enabling Raspberry Pi Camera after connecting it
That worked to me for an OpenAuto pro 7.0 on a Raspberry 3B+ and Raspberry Camera 1.3 connected by flex bus CSI/DSI
1) Open a terminal. To do so and once in the main menu of Open pro 7.0, you have to click on the "power icon" then click on "return". Then, navigate through raspberry applications menu and execute Open LXTerminal.
2) Write down the following code in the terminal and press intro.
3) Enable camera from the menu: Select --> Interfacing Options --> Camera --> Yes --> OK --> Finish--> Reboot
You can also do this graphically from Raspberrian (interface that appears after click on "Return" in OAP 7): Preferences-->Raspberry Configuration-->Interfaces. But, I encourage you to do it from the terminal and use the terminal as much as you can.
Be Root is a responsibility and a duty as Unix/Linux user
