openFrameworks .9 or higher Setup Guide
Developed with GPU memory set at 256, overclock to medium but 128/default should work as well
Desktop Mode (X11 enabled) may work but untested

Clone into your openFrameworks/addons folder Either copy one of the examples into /myApps or add ofxRPiCameraVideoGrabber to the addons.make file in your project

LED Toggling requires gpio program provided via wiringPi
$sudo apt-get install wiringpi

The addon works in a few different modes:

Allows the use of:

• Shaders
• Pixel access
• Overlays, etc

In non-texture mode the camera is rendered directly to the screen. It typically looks a bit faster/cleaner but no other drawing operations can happen.

RECORDING:
Recording is available in both texture and non-texture modes

Shows different settings available to tweak the camera exposure, metering, cropping, zooming, filters, mirroring, white balance

Camera turns on and is rendered full screen via OMX acceleration
Press the "e" key to toggle through built in filters

Demos cropping, alpha, mirroring of direct display (not camera)

Camera turns on and renders to a texture that is drawn at full screen and a scaled version
Press the "e" key to toggle through built in filters

Basic shader usage with texture-mode
Press the "e" key to toggle through built in filters Press the "s" key to toggle shader

Alternative way to load a camera configuration through a text file

Recording of video in texture or direct mode

Drop-in replacement for ofVideoGrabber (texture-mode only)
