Pi Camera Video Capture with OpenCV and Python Multithreading

In this article, I install the Raspberry Pi Camera which I will be using to add camera vision to a robot. Also, to maximise the performance of OpenCV and Camera, I will be using a utility to add multithreading to the Python applications. Furthermore, I include Python demo code which also supports USB webcams. Continue reading “Pi Camera Video Capture with OpenCV and Python Multithreading”

Multithreading Raspberry Pi Game Controller in Python

Multithreading on the Raspberry Pi is an excellent way to keep the main thread of your program running as efficiently as possible. To demonstrate, I show how you can move game controller polling routines to a separate thread. Find the Python example code for robot control at the end of this feature.
