    The Raspberry Pi Camera Module can be controlled programmatically using Python, primarily through the Picamera2 library. This library is the successor to the legacy PiCamera library and is pre-installed on Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye and later). It provides a high-level API for capturing images, recording videos, and configuring camera settings.

    Setting Up the Camera Module

    • Hardware Setup: Connect the camera module to the dedicated camera port on the Raspberry Pi using the ribbon cable. Ensure the connectors face the correct direction (blue side towards the USB ports).

    • Software Configuration: Install the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm or Bullseye recommended). Update the system: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y Test the camera with: libcamera-hello If the camera preview appears, the setup is correct.

    • Install Picamera2 (if not pre-installed):

    sudo apt install -y python3-picamera2
    Copied!
