(also works with uCam-II - where features are supported)

The library implements most functions the uCamIII provides according to datasheet, only baudrate selection is omitted due to the fact that up to 115200 the autodetection works fine and higher baudrates available for the camera are usually not supported by the microcontrollers using this library.
It also supports hardware and software serial ports (e.g. ParticleSoftSerial on the
Particle side or SoftwareSerial and NewSoftSerial for Arduino) by use of
C++ templates.
Like this:
uCamIII<USARTSerial> ucamHW(Serial1);
uCamIII<ParticleSoftSerial> ucamSW(new ParticleSoftSerial(D0, D1));
// or
ParticleSoftSerial pss(D0, D1);
uCamIII<ParticleSoftSerial> ucamSW(pss);
This sketch demonstrates how to use the uCamIII library.
It will provide a Particle.function("snap") that can be triggered with parameters
GRAY8 (default for wrong parameters too), RGB16, UYVY16 and JPG to take a pic and
send it via Serial or TCP (provided via Particle.function("setTarget")) where it
can be dumped into a file.
For the TCP data sink you need to be running a server like the provided 'imageReceiver.js'
(run the server from its file location via node ./imageReceiver.js) and inform the
device of the IP and port for the server. This is done via Particle.function("setServer")
in the form ###.###.###.###:port.
For WiFi devices it also provides a Webserver which lets you select image format and
resolution and displays the image.
For non-JPG formats a BMP header is prepended to allow use in tag.
The server address can be retrieved via Particle.variale("IP")
