Using the built-in camera with Raspbian and OpenCV

I have an elderly Samsung Netbook which is running Raspbian Stretch as a LiveUSB.

The netbook has a built in camera, and I thought I would follow up the post on using a Raspberry Pi and a Webcam with one on the Netbook.

Installation

Follow the instructions from the previous post.

Taking a photograph

Open up a Python editor (I used IDLE 3).

Create a new file.

Copy and paste the code from the previous post.

Save the program to your usual directory).

Run the program.

Footnote

It also was a convenient check that the previous post worked on a fresh install. The post required a slight edit as the PIP3 command needed to be run under SUDO.
