Turotial for this app is grat! but,....at the beginning an explanation. I use a 3.2 "LCD (LCD-PI32), because I'm waiting for Adafruit PiTFT LCD when it will be on sale.

The installation went without problems, but when I type the command sudo python cam.py get an error message.:

"File cam.py, line 567, in module pygame.mouse.set_visible (False) pygame.error: video system not initialized

is there any solution for this?

and last one - I'm not a I'm not an advanced user

Regards, Lukasz

You need to have the PiTFT and our kernel mods installed before running! :)

hi.....,

i'm sorry for asking the same again... As i previously mentioned, i'm looking for using an app that is specially written for ur 2.8" display and i want it on LCD-PI33... As i said i'm very new to linux and don't know to play with these kernel modules..

All my effort to create digital camera were failed and at the end i came to know about adafruit-pi-cam blog..

As i said I'm running out of my time and its very important for my project submission... It is a matter of our final exams..

There is no place for support in hwlevel.com site and with the hope i posted on rpi forum... But i didn't get any support from them...

i request u guys, someone pls spend few minutes of ur precious time for helping me to solve this...

My email id is 1)."siddarajudh@gmail.com" 2)."gowdakamala@gmail.com"

Pls pls pls help me to solve this...

my status - I can capture a image with camera preview on LCD-PI33 with the script "fbcp & raspistill -t 2000 -fp pkill fbcp"

I am having this problem also. The 2.8 tft is installed and working. So is the touch screen.

I had the same problem with "pygame.error: video system not initialized".

I referred to robertimorrison's solution in the following link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=73304

The problem is solved by changing the touchscreen environment variable.
