Testing the Camera
Before we can write the software for our project, we need to install some more software
on your Arduino Yun. We are also going to test the USB camera to see if the drivers are

connected to your local WiFi network. If it is your first time using your Yun, I recommend
following this guide first:

SSH. Simply open a terminal, and type:
ssh root@yourYunName.local
Where you need to insert the correct name of your Arduino Yun, that you set when you first
used the Yun. You will also be prompted to enter your password. If the connection is suc-
