Raspberry Pi Point & Shoot Camera When I first saw that the Raspberry Pi had an on-board connection for a camera, I knew what I wanted to build. It would be a battery powered traditional “point and shoot” camera complete with shutter button and a screen. It would run as a PyGame app and be able to act as a server so that I could access the photos over Wifi once they are taken. STEP 1: Setup the Raspberry Pi To do this project I am going to assume you have already installed the latest version of the Raspbian OS, and know to update and upgrade the OS in LXTerminal using these commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Once you do that you will see the choice to enable the camera option when you run the configuration options by executing: sudo raspi-config Look for the “Camera Enable/Disable” option. After enabling the camera, plug it in and reboot the Pi. sudo apt-get install python-dev This installs the latest Python Development toolkit. sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio This installs the GPIO library.
