Script camera control

This example shows how to use Script node. It controls the ColorCamera to capture a still image every second.

Demo

Setup

Please run the install script to download all required dependencies. Please note that this script must be ran from git context, so you have to download the depthai-python repository first and then run the script
Command Line
1git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python.git
2cd depthai-python/examples
3python3 install_requirements.py
For additional information, please follow the installation guide.
