Rotate camera image 180 degrees?

[Jibun-no-Kage]

Rotate camera image 180 degrees? I have a camera, generating a JPEG (as a bytes string I believe) via the camera module. But unfortunately, given the board design and the case, the camera position is inverted (i.e. upside down) unless I force the camera ribbon cable to do something horrible. Am thinking there might be a way I can correct this via MP code versus mounting the case upside down?

Something like:
s->set_hmirror(s, 0); // 0 = disable , 1 = enable
s->set_vflip(s, 0); // 0 = disable , 1 = enable
probably the last one.

Which camera firmware are you using?

@davefes LOL small world! I am using the following firmware. project. Active project, and I avoid having to make a custom MP firmware image...

Board I happen to be using for the current project, I needed POE and ethernet... There were no MP examples for this board, so created some tutorial, illustrative type, they are here on github...

I just started developing MP examples for the following board for Prokyber, he designed this variant...

and
camera.set_vflip(True) #Enable vertical flip
I think you should be able to call that in your application program. I use a different camera firmware and I can make changes in my application.

In the old lemariva esp32cam board days the cable was so short it couldn't even make it to the box face, let alone put a twist in it! camera.flip(1) was the fix back then.
