bonepeg

A program to stream video from a webcam to the Peggy 2 via i2c on the BeagleBone Black. Currently it's more of an ASCII-cam, since i2c output isn't implemented, but terminal preview of video feed is.

A re-implementation of the method used in Video Peggy in action without the laptop and Arduino.

On Mac OS X with macports:

    # sudo port install opencv
