code2040photobooth
custom photobooth for use with raspberry pi
- remixed from various raspi pb projects found on the net
- hacked together under 24hrs for CODE2040 2017 Hackathon
AIM:
- Take still photos
- turn into GIF
- put overlay sticker on GIF (for branding)
- post GIF to tumblr
There are two (2) main scripts that make this happen:
"snapgifs.sh" = is made up from several snippets of other code and some additional tweaks i made; you may want to review the documentation for the called apps to change parameters to fit your creative fancy!
"postgif2tumblr.py" = self explanatory. it does reference another file in which the tumblr API authentication data is stored. You can refer to their documentation for params on hash tags and more.
What else do I need to make this work?
hardware
- rasp pi or linux os compatible computer
- rasp pi compatible camera
software
- python
- pytumblr & and a tumblr acct for API
- gifsicle
- image editor to make your transparent overlay (or get creative)
