RPI CAMERA

Is there another way to run access the Rpi Camera rather than putting it to draw() ?

Can you elaborate more on why you want to do this or why draw() is not a good option for you? You can change the behavior of draw() by using noLoop() in setup() for example. Then you can trigger draw() manually calling redraw().

putting noLoop() will make the background image a black. I want to avoid that.

This was a suggestion. It is not clear why draw() is not good for you. What exactly do you want to do?

Thanks I appreciate the suggestion

my problem with draw is that... my image background was being drawn there. the problem here is that I want to display my camera without putting it to my draw..

or let's say I put it on the draw() function, but I must isolate the process of drawing the image background and the code of using the camera. I hope you understand what am I saying..

This doesn't make sense to me. draw() is how you display things -- anything. You can't display your camera without displaying it.

I must isolate the process of drawing the image background and the code of using the camera. I hope you understand what am I saying.

Do you mean that you want to organize your code with functions?

void draw(){
  drawBackground();
  drawCamera();
}
void drawBackground(){
  // background code here
}
void drawCamera(){
  // camera code here
}

...or do you mean that you want the camera in a separate thread? I'm not sure that a camera thread would be a good idea -- you would still need to synchronize in order to draw().
