6"""Capture an image from the camera and display it as ASCII art.
7
8The camera is placed in YUV mode, so the top 8 bits of each color
9value can be treated as "greyscale".
10
11It's important that you use a terminal program that can interpret
12"ANSI" escape sequences. The demo uses them to "paint" each frame
13on top of the prevous one, rather than scrolling.

15Remember to take the lens cap off, or un-comment the line setting
16the test pattern!
