Code Examples

Here are some code examples demonstrating how to use the 15cm Camera Cable for Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 2:

Example 1: Capturing an Image with Python

This example uses the Python programming language to capture an image using the Raspberry Pi camera module.

```python
import picamera

# Create a Picamera object
camera = picamera.PiCamera()

# Set the camera resolution
camera.resolution = (1024, 768)

# Capture an image and save it to a file
camera.capture('image.jpg')

# Close the camera object
camera.close()
```

Example 2: Streaming Video with OpenCV

This example uses the OpenCV library to capture and stream video from the Raspberry Pi camera module.

```python
import cv2

# Create a VideoCapture object
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
    # Capture a frame
    ret, frame = cap.read()

# Display the frame
    cv2.imshow('frame', frame)

# Exit on key press
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# Release the VideoCapture object
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```

Note: These examples assume that the camera module is properly connected to the Raspberry Pi board using the 15cm Camera Cable. Additionally, the Raspberry Pi board should be configured to support the camera module, and the necessary dependencies should be installed.
