Explanation of the Code: http://alekthegenius.github.io/Raspberry-Pi-Digital-Camera/
Used with Raspberry Pi Zero W, Hyperpixel 2.1" Round Display, and Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Module.
In this repository, there are three files found in the "code" folder, "gui.py", "startCam.sh", and "Cam.conf". The "gui.py" is a Python App for taking pictures and videos, "startCam.sh" is a program to start the "gui.py", and lastly, "Cam.conf" is a script that autostarts the "startCam.sh" program on boot, which in turn starts "gui.py".
Below is a list of all the modules that you will need to install:
- hyperpixel2r (Already installed)
- picamera (Install with PIP)
- tkinter * (Install with PIP)
- tkinter ttk (Already Installed with Tkinter)
- tkinter.font (Already Installed with Tkinter)
- subprocess (Install with PIP)
- datetime (Install with PIP)
- tkinter (Already Installed with Tkinter)
- fnmatch (Install with PIP)
- shutil (Install with PIP)
- time (Installed by default)
- glob (Install with PIP)
- sys (Installed by default)
- os (Installed by default)
First, download the file "gui.py" below, into a folder titled "App" in the documents folder of the Pi:
~/home/pi/Documents/App/
Once you have saved the python file to your Pi, add the file labeled "startCam.sh" below to the pi directory on the Raspberry Pi:
~/home/pi/
Lastly, add the "Cam.conf" file to the init directory located in etc:
~/etc/init/
Reboot your Pi, and you should now have a working camera!
