Capturing Camera Images with CircuitPython and Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Jeff Epler has a great Learn Guide over on the Adafruit Learning System has a handy guide on capturing images with Circuit Python. Here’s more from the Adafruit Learning Guide:

CircuitPython 7 adds support for capturing images from “parallel cameras” on select boards, and libraries are available to configure the popular OV7670, OV5640, and OV2640 cameras.

CircuitPython 8 adds a new library exclusively for Espressif ESP32 microcontrollers that supports a wider range of cameras, though the guide author has only tested with the OV5640 and OV2640 cameras.

While not up to standards we’re used to from a current smartphone or laptop, it’s nicely balanced to the capabilities of recent 32-bit microcontrollers.

See guide!
