Fotobox

A Fotobox based on the original script from Safay adapted to run via GPIOZERO and to include a slideshow with the current pictures and subsequently all pictures with the following hardware setup:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 (based on raspian) as controller
  • a few buttons and LEDs as interface (designed to cater for kids and drunks)
  • a Canon DSLR attached via USB Cable or any other Camera compatible with GPHOTO2
  • a HP Printer (HP Photosmart 5510 series) or any other printer compatible with CUPS
  • optionally: a screen via HDMI

To do: I am working on a webserver to allow download to other devices via WIFI To do: build a nice case

The workflow is as follows:

  • as an admin: connect all hardware, start all devices
  • as a user:
    • Push the button
    • Pose for four pics and see the latest one on the (optional) screen
    • wait for a few seconds and receive the printout of the 4 in 1 collage from the printer
    • future feature: connect via webbrowser to download pics

See install.md for the install routine from Safay adapted for my setup.
