Setup the camera using raspistill and as a team we tested the camera. We simulated jogging with the camera sensor and captured images. We tested for latency, blurriness with movement and focal length would meet our ranges for this project. The focal length worked, the camera has…

I’m not very concerned with my ability to put an app together and I am more concerned about our sensors and being…
