raspberry picamera

[Yiuri Garino]

Just started to use the python picamera library on Raspberry.

The following simple script can be run only once, the second time it gives the error:

PiCameraMMALError: Failed to enable connection: Out of resources

Just closing Spyder and opening it again let you to run it (once) again.

It seems that Spyder is not correctly closing the camera, am I right ?

Any idea ?

from picamera import PiCamera
from time import sleep

camera = PiCamera()

camera.start_preview()
sleep(5)
camera.capture('/home/pi/Desktop/image.jpg')
camera.stop_preview()
