Raspberry Pi Camera Module

A Note on the Raspi Cam Module

Sometimes enabling the Raspberry Pi Camera Module in raspi-config doesn't completely load the kernel drivers for it. If you don't see /dev/video0 on your system, or controller.py complains about not finding it, then do the following.

1. Enable the kernel module for your current session:

   sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

2. Tell the operating system to load the kernel module at boot going forward:

   sudo cat 'bcm2835-v4l2' >> /etc/modules

Now you should see /dev/video0 if you do ls /dev/video*
