Tips and tricks for the Pi Builder software; see more at https://github.com/publiclab/pi-builder

Using Pi Builder, you can download a premade SD card image to use your Pi as a WiFi streaming camera, a timelapse camera, an Infragram camera, and much more! Used in the following projects:

* [Community Microscope Kit](/micro)
* [Lego Spectrometer Kit](/lego)
* [Infragram Pi Camera Kit](/wiki/raspberry-pi-infragram) (above!)

### Video quality

The streaming video you see in the web interfaces is not the highest quality available; to change it, click `Camera settings` at the `http://pi.local/cam/` page, and change the `Wi` value to something higher like `1024`. It can in theory go as high as `1980`, but I think streaming at high framerates at this resolution is probably tough for your Pi.
