 6  """Capture an image from the camera and display it as ASCII art.
 7  
 8  This demo is designed to run on the Kaluga, but you can adapt it
 9  to other boards by changing the constructors for `bus` and `cam`
10  appropriately.
11  
12  The camera is placed in YUV mode, so the top 8 bits of each color
13  value can be treated as "greyscale".
14  
15  It's important that you use a terminal program that can interpret
16  "ANSI" escape sequences.  The demo uses them to "paint" each frame
17  on top of the prevous one, rather than scrolling.
18  
19  Remember to take the lens cap off, or un-comment the line setting
20  the test pattern!
