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 ov5640 Or the following command to update an existing version: .. code-block:: shell circup update Usage Example ============= .. code-block: python """Capture an image from the camera and display it as ASCII art. This demo is designed to run on the Kaluga, but you can adapt it to other boards by changing the constructors for `bus` and `cam` appropriately. The camera is placed in YUV mode, so the top 8 bits of each color value can be treated as "greyscale". It's important that you use a terminal program that can interpret "ANSI" escape sequences. The demo uses them to "paint" each frame on top of the prevous one, rather than scrolling. Remember to take the lens cap off, or un-comment the line setting the test pattern!
