CircuitPython driver for OV5640 Camera


Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
==========================================================

Make sure that you have ``circup`` installed in your Python environment.
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 adafruit_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!
