Setting up the Pi Camera software
Power up the Pi on external power (that is, plugged into a USB wall adapter) for this operation, leaving the motors powered down for now, and log in via PuTTY. At the Terminal, type the following:
pi@myrobot:~ $ sudo raspi-config
In raspi-config, select the 5 Interfacing Options option by selecting it, then pressing Enter, and then selecting P1 Camera. You will then be asked if you would like the camera interface to be enabled. Select Yes and Ok, then Finish. If you are asked to reboot at this point, answer Yes.
