I have the software setup and the camera works well using libcamera / rpicamera software
The code “cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)” ends in an error. It seems like I need to specify the feed type and choose the mode somehow. How do we specify this in Python so OpenCV can see the ArduCam and use it’s feed?
