Camera setup[edit]

Setup

Permissions[edit]

Create a group with permission tu use the camera, and add the user that will be using it:

# echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq",GROUP="video",MODE="0660"' \
>  > /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vchiq-permissions.rules
# usermod -a -G video pi

Reboot.

Set paths: edit $HOME/.bashrc, add:

add:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/vc/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARYPATH:/opt/vc/lib

Bash[edit]

Command Action
raspistill Capturing still photographs with the camera module
raspivid Capturing video with the camera module
Time-lapse Taking pictures at regular intervals and stitching them together in to a video
raspiyuv Capturing still photographs and generating raw unprocessed image files

Python[edit]

First install the python-picamera

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-picamera
