Build a simple photobooth using Python and Shuttersnitch.
This module is used to build a simple photobooth. The process is simple, using only a small computer (e.g. a Raspberry Pi) with a camera connected to it and a phone or tablet running Shuttersnitch. The process is then:
- wait for event (i.e. picture taken) from camera
- fetch the image from the camera and save it
- send the picture to Shuttersnitch via FTP
- (optional) archive the picture to a USB drive
The script requires gphoto2 as well as a compatible camera. Additionally it is strongly recommended to set up some sort of Hotspot on the device, to which the Tablet or Phone can connect. The easiest way would be to set up RaspAP on a Raspberry Pi for this.
You can:
- Start the script manually using
python main.py(use-hfor args) - (recommended) Set up the script as a Service to run it in the background
The only thing you need to set is the IP address. Either specify it via --ip or set it directly
in the file ip.json.
