Software:

  • OS: Raspbian
  • Langauge: Python 3.5.2

Assembling the Project:

  1. Connect the pi camera to the raspberry pi
  2. Incert the memory card
  3. Incert the raspberry pi and camera into the camera case and snap close
  4. Connect the breadboard to the Raspberry
  5. Connect the LED lights to directly to the breadboard
  6. Remove the film from the breadboard and fold the breadboard so that it sticks to the bottom of the rasbperry pi
