How to make multiple GIFs?

Hi there,

What would I need to do to the code so that instead of taking 4 snaps and turning them into 1 gif it instead took 16 snaps and made them into 4 separate gifs?

wiring diagram (for pre-v3 version)

Do you have your original wiring diagram still available? Your project has been forked more than 60 times and (almost) all of them depend on your instructions... now you've changed the design and updated your website, i can't find the original wiring diagram anymore! Is there a possibility to upload this somewhere?
thanks in advance!

Programm hangs at camera call

Thanks for this great script, Chris! I try to run the photobooth on a Raspi 3 with the original Pi camera module, and a Raspberry Pi 7" Touch screen Display with 800 x 480 px resolution.

But the drumminhands_photobooth.py produces an error and stops after the 'Strike your pose' message.

The terminal shows:

Photo booth app running...
Get Ready
Taking pics
mmal: mmal_vc_port_info_set: failed to set port info (3:0): EINVAL
mmal: mmal_vc_port_set_format: mmal_vc_port_info_set failed 0x15af4c0 (EINVAL)
...

I was able to reproduce the error in the camera test file and found that the line which is meant to start a resized camera preview is failing (233):

camera.start_preview(resolution=(config.monitor_w, config.monitor_h)) 

Even if surpassing the config variables and entering the screen resolution directly, the line will fail to execute. I did not find any documentation about specifying the output resolution of the camera.

It works all fine if I just start the preview with a default camera.start_preview() call. I guess when using a larger screen this might look rather coarse grained. It seems, I don't need that rescaling. But do you have any ideas what is causing the error?

gphoto compatability

Hi can this be used with gphoto? I don't have the rPi camera but I've got a DSLR!

Thanks!
