WEBVTT 00:00.140 --> 00:02.510 Let's start with the Raspberry Pi camera. 00:02.510 --> 00:07.220 And in this lesson, I will show you how to correctly plug it to your Raspberry Pi. 00:07.250 --> 00:10.640 Just before that, a quick parenthesis on the camera. 00:10.640 --> 00:13.940 So you have two available cameras for the Raspberry Pi. 00:13.970 --> 00:20.350 The standard camera, which is mounted on a green board, is a quite well standard and normal camera. 00:20.360 --> 00:22.070 It gives you good images. 00:22.070 --> 00:24.490 When the light of the room is good enough. 00:24.500 --> 00:29.210 Then you have the newer camera which is mounted on a black board. 00:29.240 --> 00:35.450 This camera works great in low light environments and actually doesn't need light to operate. 00:35.450 --> 00:40.040 So you can use it in a completely dark room or at night, for example. 00:40.070 --> 00:46.430 Note, however, that in daylight the images will not look as good as the standard camera. 00:46.430 --> 00:52.490 So for this section and for the final project, I will be using the standard Pi camera and I suggest 00:52.490 --> 00:53.960 you do the same. 00:53.960 --> 00:58.400 If, however, you only have the black version, well, no problem at all. 00:58.400 --> 01:04.770 You can follow the same instructions and your images will just have a slightly different look, which 01:04.770 --> 01:06.540 is not a problem for this course. 01:06.540 --> 01:11.700 And now let's see the hardware and let's plug the camera to our Raspberry Pi. 01:12.380 --> 01:14.300 So first of all, and that's important. 01:14.330 --> 01:18.900 Make sure you correctly shut down the Raspberry Pi like you would shut down a normal computer. 01:18.930 --> 01:19.130 Okay. 01:19.130 --> 01:21.260 So don't just remove the power cable. 01:21.290 --> 01:23.030 Shut it down from the software. 01:23.060 --> 01:25.130 Then you remove the power cable. 01:25.130 --> 01:31.130 And what we're going to do also is to remove the SD card for any manipulation we do on the Raspberry 01:31.130 --> 01:34.480 Pi so we don't have the risk of breaking the SD card. 01:34.490 --> 01:38.600 And I'm just going to put that on the side here and put it back at the end. 01:39.050 --> 01:43.010 I'm also going to disconnect anything from the Raspberry Pi, so. 01:44.250 --> 01:49.890 Okay, we are better like this and we are going to take the camera. 01:49.890 --> 01:51.300 So I have the camera here. 01:51.300 --> 01:52.230 You can see. 01:52.230 --> 01:56.520 Well, this is a very simple stuff with the wire here. 01:56.520 --> 01:58.320 And you can see you have a blue part. 01:58.320 --> 02:02.130 And here the connector, a metallic connector. 02:03.330 --> 02:07.290 So we are going to use this part here. 02:07.320 --> 02:07.770 Okay. 02:07.770 --> 02:12.900 You have another one that is similar here, but this is for the display screen that is compatible with 02:12.900 --> 02:13.650 Raspberry Pi. 02:13.650 --> 02:15.480 So we're going to use that one here. 02:15.480 --> 02:19.290 So you can just take out a bit. 02:19.770 --> 02:21.450 You can see the black part. 02:21.480 --> 02:22.050 Okay. 02:22.110 --> 02:22.470 Okay. 02:22.470 --> 02:23.340 This is close. 02:23.340 --> 02:28.710 And if you pull a little bit, this is open. 02:29.220 --> 02:37.950 Now what you do is you take this connector of the camera and the blue part is going to face the USB 02:37.950 --> 02:39.000 port here. 02:39.030 --> 02:39.510 Okay? 02:39.510 --> 02:43.080 And the connector here is going to face this side. 02:43.230 --> 02:45.130 So you plug it here. 02:46.410 --> 02:49.980 And you make sure it goes okay. 02:49.980 --> 02:51.360 It goes to the end. 02:52.080 --> 02:52.230 Okay. 02:52.230 --> 02:52.970 That's very important. 02:52.980 --> 02:59.790 You make sure it's correctly plugged and then you're going to push back the black. 03:01.310 --> 03:03.470 He the black plastic part. 03:05.910 --> 03:12.150 So that the camera is plugged and you can see now, okay, nothing should go out. 03:12.180 --> 03:12.390 Okay. 03:12.390 --> 03:14.490 It should be exactly like this. 03:14.490 --> 03:19.350 So now you have the camera which is correctly plugged. 03:19.350 --> 03:22.830 Let's put back the SD card. 03:23.430 --> 03:24.090 All right? 03:24.090 --> 03:31.320 And what you can do is you can put the camera like this facing facing the well, if you put the camera 03:31.350 --> 03:36.450 like this, it's going to face here and it's going to take photo of what's in front of it, of course. 03:36.720 --> 03:45.150 And one thing is that, well, try not to take this connector out and put it back too often, okay. 03:45.150 --> 03:47.370 Because as you can see, that's not like a USB cable. 03:47.370 --> 03:47.640 Okay. 03:47.730 --> 03:49.620 USB cable is very robust. 03:49.650 --> 03:53.310 It's been tested to be plugged unplugged like thousands of times. 03:53.310 --> 04:00.810 But this well, if you plug it, unplug it many times, you may break the connector. 04:00.810 --> 04:07.780 So I really recommend that once it is plugged, you really don't unplug it unless you have to travel 04:07.780 --> 04:11.710 with your Raspberry Pi or unless you have to move it somewhere or put it in a box. 04:11.830 --> 04:12.310 Okay. 04:12.310 --> 04:14.380 So just keep it like this. 04:14.380 --> 04:16.060 And now everything is good. 04:16.090 --> 04:23.830 You can just power on your Raspberry Pi and let's take some photos.
