    What is Raspberry Pi?


    The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable, and versatile single-board computer developed by the
    Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK. It is widely used for educational purposes, prototyping, and
    hobbyist projects. Despite its size, it packs significant processing power and is often used for IoT
    (Internet of Things) applications, robotics, media centers, and even lightweight web servers.
    Raspberry Pi runs a version of Linux (usually Raspberry Pi OS) and can interface with numerous
    external devices and sensors, including cameras, LEDs, and more.

    Key features of Raspberry Pi include:


    • Low cost: Designed to be affordable.
    • GPIO Pins: Allows connection to sensors, LEDs, motors, and more for hardware control.
    • Flexible operating system: Runs a variety of OS like Raspberry Pi OS (Linux-based) or even
    Windows IoT.
    • Small form factor: The size of a credit card, making it portable.
    • Educational purpose: Aimed at teaching basic computing skills.
    Types of Raspberry Pi

    1. Raspberry Pi Model B:

    • This is the standard and most popular model, offering more features and ports.
    • Available in different versions, such as Raspberry Pi 2, 3, and 4, with progressively better
    specs.
    2. Raspberry Pi Zero:
    • A smaller, more compact version aimed at ultra-low-cost and portable projects.
    • Comes in two variants: Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi Zero W (with built-in Wi-Fi
    and Bluetooth).

    Key Features of Raspberry Pi


    • Processor: Broadcom ARM-based CPUs (quad-core in higher models).
    • Memory (RAM): Ranges from 512MB to 8GB depending on the model.
    • Ports:
    o USB (2.0 and 3.0 depending on the model).
    o HDMI (Full-sized or Micro-HDMI depending on the model).
    o GPIO pins (40 pins for hardware interfacing).
    o Camera Serial Interface (CSI) port for connecting camera modules.
    o Audio output via 3.5mm jack or HDMI.

    Connection
    • Locate the CSI Port on the Raspberry Pi (next to the HDMI port).
    • Gently lift the tab on the CSI port.
    • Insert the ribbon cable with the metal contacts facing the HDMI port.
    • Secure the tab back down to hold the ribbon cable in place.
    • Enable the Camera by running:
    sudo raspi-config
    Go to Interfacing Options → Camera → Enable.
    • Reboot the Raspberry Pi.
    • Test the Camera by capturing an image:
    raspistill -o image.jpg
    Testing Steps for the Application

    1. Install Python and picamera if not already installed.


    2. Connect the camera to the Raspberry Pi’s CSI port.
    3. Run the script to capture an image:
    Wb cancer hello

    lib camera-jpeg.

    Cibcamera-jpeg -o testing.

    Libcameter vid -t 19,000-00042. mato streetest hasz


    4. Check the saved image in the directory /home/pi/captured_image.jpg to verify the capture
    was successful.
    5. Adjust settings (like resolution, delay, etc.) as needed within the script.

    Conclusion
    By using a Raspberry Pi and its camera module, you can easily capture and store images using a
    simple Python script. The Raspberry Pi’s versatile GPIO pins and the CSI interface make it a
    powerful tool for hardware-based projects, such as home automation, robotics, and security systems
    with cameras.
