Camera for Raspberry Pi

How to run

Either:

chmod +x ./start.sh
./start.sh

Or:

python3 src/main.py

Configuration

Check config.json for an example configuration.

camera_type

Specifies the camera type (picam interface implementation) to use.

1: legacy picamera implementation

capture_resolution

Specifies the resolution of the photos to take.

The X value will be rounded up to a multiple of 32, and the Y value to a multiple of 16, otherwise we'll get bugs due to the behaviour described in the docs

preview_resolution

Specifies the resolution of the viewfinder. I've set this to the resolution of the hyperpixel4 display

output_format

Specifies the output format of the image. Check supported formats using python3 -m PIL

output_extension

Specifies the file extension of the image. Should probably match the output_format option.

output_directory

Specifies the directory to put taken images in to.

output_filename_format

Specifies the format of the output filename.

See Python docs for reference.
