Utilizes wiringPi and the raspistill CLI in order to reduce dependencies and make it easier to work with.
In the original library, the code simply did not work as described. After following the directions on my raspberry pi, I got a lot of errors, but found that the python code using raspistill worked much better. Therefore, I decided to replace the openCV implementation with a simple wiringPi dependent version that uses the raspistill CLI to capture pictures.
One possible improvement that I would add is to include an option in the capture method that would allow users to take advantage of the many options that can be passed to raspistill including nopreview, signal, etc.
Thanks for putting together this library and the ArduCam. It's much better and easier to work with than the IVPort V2 that I had been using before.
