Watch the orientation of the cable (left: bad, right: good)
There may be a dust prevention sticker at the socket named CAMERA at the raspberryPi, remove it first. Like at the sensor module, open the lid first, insert the cable to be
orthogonally fixed after shutting the lid. Also check the orthogonality here and correct it if the cable is angled!
Connect the cable to the CAMERA socket at the raspberry Pi equally (left: bad, right: good)
Warning
Do not connect other devices to the I²C bus named VC, since it can affect the communication between the camera sensor and the driver!
For example, running the touch screen of the Raspberry PI 7 inch display will lead to communication problems between driver and camera sensor. The display may
work with the following line appended to the /boot/config.txt, but test first without connecting it to the Raspberry PI to be sure everything works so far:
disable_touchscreen=1
Don't connect the SDA/SCK of the 7 inch display since this would connect the I²C bus VC from the socket named DISPLAY with the I²C bus ARM at the pinout!
Reconnect the other peripherials to the Raspberry Pi.
