Library for the Adafruit PyCamera

Dependencies

=============

This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython `_

* `Bus Device `_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.

This is easily achieved by downloading

`the Adafruit library and driver bundle `_

or individual libraries can be installed using

`circup `_.

.. ::

    `Purchase one from the Adafruit shop `_

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
