Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the process of setting up the Raspberry Pi camera module and how it can be tested using the raspistill utility bundled by default with Raspbian.

We then went on to use the picamera Python library to control the camera in a variety of situations with customized Python scripts.

In the next chapter, we will look at ways in which a Python application can extract data from online sources.
