Software Installation
The Raspberry Pi Camera driver must be enabled. Detailed instructions are provided for Raspbian in Appendix A
of this document. The process is similar for other operating systems.
The PiCapture board communicates with the Raspberry Pi through the CSI-2 camera interface. In addition, it can
be controlled using software provided through either the I2C or Asynchronous Serial Interface ports. This
flexibility is provided so that the PiCapture board is compatible with other devices or applications that my
require use of these ports. A jumper is used to select the interface port.
The PiVideo™ software, for control of the PiCapture board, provides a Python module that may be used with
your software. A command line interface based upon this module is also provided. This software may be
downloaded through the Python Package Index (PyPI) or is available at
http://lintestsystems.com
