Library for the Adafruit PyCamera

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries> or individual libraries can be installed using circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>.

.. :: Purchase one from the Adafruit shop <http://www.adafruit.com/products/9999>_

Installing from PyPI

This package is available on PyPI so that it can be installed by Thonny. It is not useful to install this package from PyPI on a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

circup install adafruit_pycamera

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

circup update

Usage Example

.. code-block: python

from adafruit_pycamera import PyCamera

pycam = PyCamera()

while True:
    new_frame = pycam.continuous_capture()
    # .. do something with new_frame
