I am trying make the raspberry pi camera work with opencv

Question

I tried making this code work with the raspberry pi cam. how do you make the cv2.VideoCapture(0) recognise the raspberry pi camera as the designated camera

Answer 1

Some time ago, I developed on a rasperry pi with raspicam, an interface for opencv. I thought that the video capture in pure cv only works for usb devices

You can download raspicam under http://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicam/files/
