CircuitPython module for use with the VC0706 serial TTL camera <https://www.adafruit.com/product/397>_. Allows basic image capture and download of image data from the camera over a serial connection. See examples for demo of saving image to a SD card (must be wired up separately) or internally.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>_.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-vc0706/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-vc0706

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-vc0706

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-vc0706

Usage Example

See examples/snapshot.py.
