Welcome to the JRPiCam wiki!

JRPiCam is a Java API that allows Java applications running on a Raspberry Pi to access the Raspberry Pi Camera. JRPiCam achieves this functionality by using the ProcessBuilder class to run the native raspistill program on the RPi. This means that JRPiCam has all the same functionality as raspistill, plus additional Java specific features.

Because JRPiCam works by invoking the raspistill software, it is important that your RPi be properly configured to run raspistill. The appropriate settings may be configured by running raspi-config in the terminal of your RPi. Further instructions can be found [here] (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/camera.md).

This wiki contains examples and instructions on how to use the JRPiCam API. If you are just starting, it may be best to begin reading here.
