Photo Booth

Setup

Install gphoto2 before anything else :

# Ubuntu / Debian
apt install gphoto2

# MacOS
brew install gphoto2

Install python dependencies

poetry install

Usage

To test capturing one picture use the following command:

poetry run python photobooth/capture_one.py

To start the raspberry pi process:

poetry run python photobooth/raspberry_pi.py

Warning

On the reaspberry pi, when gphoto2 and libgphoto2 are installed/compiled, 2 processes will be running:

$ ps -ef | grep gphoto
user   885   611  0 18:05 ?        00:00:00 /usr/libexec/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor
user  1027   725  0 18:05 ?        00:00:00 /usr/libexec/gvfsd-gphoto2 --spawner :1.7 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/1

Those need to be killed before you can connect to the device with gphoto2.

For the moment the quick solution is to kill them:

sudo rm -rf /usr/libexec/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor /usr/libexec/gvfsd-gphoto2
