To check if I could access the Raspberry Pi camera I enabled it as described on the RP website and made a small standalone web app running on the RP. The web app only has a button and an ImageView.

I put the following code in the Button.Action handler:

// Take a snapshot.
dim s as Shell
s = new Shell
s.Execute(“raspistill -t 5 -w 320 -h 240 -e png -o snap.png”)

// Show snapshot.
dim picFile as new FolderItem(“snap.png”)
ImageView1.Picture = new WebPicture(picFile)

When I click the button a snapshot appears in the ImageView. Haven’t tried video capture yet though.
