RPi libraries and applications

I have a number of applications in development for the Raspberry Pi. Some of the libraries developed will be released here.

Picam - RPi Camera Module Python Library

A Python extension based largely on a stripped down version of Raspistill and Raspivid that allows taking still photos and video from Python without launching an external process.

Includes access to exposure, image effects and lighting settings.
