[Elphel-support] No images from sensor

[Oleg]

Linden,

1. Could you please send the current /etc/autocampars.xml?
2. Meanwhile, you can rename the current file and regenerate the dafault
one:

> php autocampars.php --init

It should create a new /etc/autocampars.xml if it doesn't exist. You might
need to reboot the camera afterwards for a cleaner effect.
The same thing will happen if you just reboot w/o this file in place.
