I bought this Arducam B0066 for two reasons, 1) it has long cable, 2) the sensor is small enough to fit in an robot eye socket. It works but only with a raspberry Pi 4, I bought the official raspberry Pi camera cable for 15 pin to 22 pin conversion but every time I connected it , the pi would just shut down. Turns out Arducam and the "official" rpi camera cable is not compatible because the pins are just straight up different.

Yes the cameras work, but on raspberry Pi 4

No I prefer not to switch to Rpi 4 cause it only has one camera port, also less compute compared to pi 5

No the connectors are not shotty I tried.

Yes I built the libcamera and rpi cam and it isn't a software issue (yet)
