Getting Started

Ivport is using Raspberry Pi VideoCore camera library. Therefore firstly camera module support should be enabled in Raspberry Pi's operation system.

Enabling The Camera

Open the raspi-config tool from the Terminal:

sudo raspi-config

Select Enable Camera and hit Enter, then go to Finish and you'll be prompted to reboot.

Testing Camera Module

Once Raspberry Pi rebooted, single camera module can be checked without using Ivport.

Taking a simple photograph from the Terminal:

raspistill -o test.jpg

If everything seems well, Ivport will be usable easily.

Attaching Ivport Module

Shutdown Raspberry Pi with sudo shutdown -h now and disconnect power supply to attach Ivport module and its connected camera modules together without any damage.

Once Ivport is attached, you can power on Raspberry Pi normally.
