How could I contribute to this project?
I have made a simple example which allows to stream the camera frames into pngs very quickly. there are other applications online, but they are either bulky or very slow.

Thanks so much for the feedback!
I always like examples, and I would like to add it. Either make a fork and send me a pull request, or write the code somewhere and I will add it.
Did you use the Camera and ImageWriter?

I used Camera and ImageEncoder. I do not know about ImageWriter.

I saw your request, getting my PI from my pile and I will try!

I just added another commit, to solve the problem of the buffer length on the stream. Here is a code snippet from the sample application that I am building

    var ws = require('stream').Writable();
    var recBuffer = null;
    ws._write = function (chunk, enc, next) {
        var nextPart = chunk;
        if (chunk.onBufferDone) {
            if (chunk.usedLength !== undefined && chunk.usedLength < chunk.length) {
                // console.log("Getting buffer to smaller size")
                nextPart = chunk.slice(0, chunk.usedLength);
            }
            if (!recBuffer) {
                recBuffer = nextPart;
            } else {
                recBuffer = concat([recBuffer, nextPart]);
            }
            riseCore.emit("omx-camera-frame", recBuffer);
            recBuffer = null;
            chunk.onBufferDone();
        } else {
            if (recBuffer) {
                recBuffer = Buffer.concat([recBuffer, chunk]);
            } else
                recBuffer = Buffer.from(chunk);
        }
        next();
    };

I merged it, however it does not work for me, _write isn't called.

Hi, I am using the code of npm 1.6.0 I went to the node_modules/openmax/dist/perf, and copied there the CameraEncode.js example and run it there. It works for me. I run it after running CameraPipe Regards, Santi.

Hi Could you make it work? I post you a screenshot of what I'm doing right now. I am using 4 raspberry pis and websockets. I get around 25 fps sending jpg frames and around 6% cpu in the raspberry pi. Would you be so kind to publish a new version of the module with the latest change? It is needed for the jpg transmission because otherwise the system cannot know if a frame has finished or not when encoding using discrete frames coming out of the Encoding component. Regards, Santi.

I did not get it to work, I get an invalid parameter exception... It might be a problem with my PI.
Your stats are pretty impressive, PIes are cool!

No problem, I just did push 1.6.1
