After just over four years, today will be my last day at @npub15nn…sdr0. It’s been a great place to work! I’ve really enjoyed my time there and hope I’ve visibly made some difference to the quality of writing and documentation around the products. Because documentation is always just about helping people get things done.

@npub13uu…pvgs Because the author of picamera stopped supporting it? Wasn't our decision. The original picamera library wasn't written, or supported, by Raspberry Pi. The new picamera2 library was written in-house, and is extensively documented, https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/camera/picamera2-manual.pdf. It might not do what you want (yet), but it's being actively maintained and worked on.
