Is it possible to get USB camera working with SO101 arm through WSL Ubuntu?

A user reports that a Logitech C270 USB webcam fails to work with the SO101 Arm kit through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Ubuntu, with the `lerobot-find-cameras opencv` command returning errors including 'ioctl(VIDIOC_QBUF): Bad file descriptor' and 'Inappropriate ioctl for device'. The user has enabled WSL passthrough and tried changing the format to V4L2, but the camera still times out waiting for a frame. The issue is likely related to WSL's limited support for USB video devices, as the camera works in native Linux environments.

Hello, I just got a SO101 Arm kit, finished building it and managed to get teleop working. I wanted to continue with the tutorials that are recommended before trying to do anything on my own, but I’ve come to a issue with trying to get cameras working. I have a Logitech C270 usb webcam wsl passthrough has been enabled , and when running the lerobot-find-cameras opencv command I received this error message. I tried a couple things like changing the format to V4L2, but haven’t gotten this command to work as it does in the example. The only thing I found, but probably isn’t what i’m looking for is OpenCVCameraConfig settings fail under backend=ANY on Linux; the same settings work with backend=V4L2 · Issue 3198 · huggingface/lerobot · GitHub https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/issues/3198 Thank you Here is the error listed below: ioctl VIDIOC QBUF : Bad file descriptor video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x5b2d2bd784c0 ioctl VIDIOC G INPUT : Inappropriate ioctl for device -– Detected Cameras — Camera 0: Name: OpenCV Camera @ /dev/video0 Type: OpenCV Id: /dev/video0 Backend api: FFMPEG Default stream profile: Format: 0.0 Fourcc: Width: 640 Height: 480 Fps: 30.0 WARNING:lerobot.cameras.opencv.camera opencv:Error reading frame in background thread for OpenCVCamera /dev/video0 : OpenCVCamera /dev/video0 read failed status=False .
