The ProtoCam is a prototyping board developed by Richard Saville and is currently being funded through Kickstarter. If you want something to build a circuit and mount a Pi camera, I can thoroughly recommend it!
The script isn't fancy, all it does is read a button press and then:
- lights the 4 LEDs up
- uses the picamera library to initiate the taking of a photograph
Here's a picture of the project. Excuse the rather crude nature of it - I wanted to show the circuit that I used. If I was doing it again, I would of course solder everything onto the underside to keep things nice and tidy!
