class adafruit_vc0706.VC0706(uart, *, buffer_size=100)[source]

Driver for VC0706 serial TTL camera module.

Parameters

  • uart (UART) – uart serial or compatible interface

  • buffer_size (int) – Receive buffer size

property baudrate

Return the currently configured baud rate.

property frame_length

Return the length in bytes of the currently capture frame/picture.

get_motion_detect()[source]

Query the gesture detection status

property image_size

Get the current image size, will return a value of IMAGE_SIZE_640x480, IMAGE_SIZE_320x240, or IMAGE_SIZE_160x120.

motion_detected()[source]

Read the gesture detection result

read_picture_into(buf)[source]

Read the next bytes of frame/picture data into the provided buffer. Returns the number of bytes written to the buffer (might be less than the size of the buffer). Buffer MUST be a multiple of 4 and 100 or less. Suggested buffer size is 32.

resume_video()[source]

Tell the camera to resume being a camera after the video has stopped (Such as what happens when a picture is taken).

set_motion_detect(enabled)[source]

Set gesture detection status.

Parameters

enabled (bool) – False to disable motion detected, True to enable motion detection.

take_picture()[source]

Tell the camera to take a picture. Returns True if successful.

property version

Return camera version byte string.
