baudrate

Return the currently configured baud rate.

frame_length

Return the length in bytes of the currently capture frame/picture.

image_size

Get the current image size, will return a value of IMAGE_SIZE_640x480, IMAGE_SIZE_320x240, or IMAGE_SIZE_160x120.

read_picture_into(buf)[source]

Read the next bytes of frame/picture data into the provided buffer. Returns the number of bytes written to the buffer (might be less than the size of the buffer). Buffer MUST be a multiple of 4 and 100 or less. Suggested buffer size is 32.

resume_video()[source]

Tell the camera to resume being a camera after the video has stopped (Such as what happens when a picture is taken).
