HELP with the camera

Thu Jan 05, 2017 2:02 am

I am curently trying to build a camera, I have a pretty simple program that start at boot that takes pictures and put in a folder. I did so that the name went 1, 2, 3... The problem is when I reboot the raspberry pi and I take some pictures it overwrites the ones already created, is there anyway I can fix that problem by making the program look for the last name of picture and keep going with it.

Do you have the source code for the program? If yes, you can change the program to do what you want. The next question will be the source code language. C? Python? COBOL?

If no, you could write a program to do what you want. The MagPi magazine and accompanying books have lots of code samples.
