Software to use a RaspberryPi as photo booth.

boothpi's Issues

Keyboard instead of button

Bind to anykey to remove the need for a big red button.

def callback(event):
    if event.char==...

bind("<Key>", callback)

Express mode

By pressing the button twice (or something like that) you can enter express mode, which basically shows a short countdown and takes a photo - times 4.

Stats

Pressing "s" shows an overlay with stats like "picture sets in photos/", "incomplete picture sets in /photos", "remaining disk space", "runs completed during this session" and so on.

Add a debug mode with an overlay

Add an debug mode showing all the infos thrown into STDOUT directly on the screen.

Single Photo

Pressing... "p"? makes a single photo and displays it full screen. Ideal for setting up the system.

Quit & shutdown

Add a keyboard shortcut to quit boothPi and shutdown the system. To make it easier for other people to clean up afterwards.

Rename the script to boothPi

Add MIT license

Allow users to download their photos

• Generate a number (8 digits?)
• Attach that number to the photos (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS---NUMBER---PART.jpg?)
• Display the number.
• The guests can later access a website, enter their number and download the matching image.

Switch debug mode while running

Show console output in window for better debugging / understanding of the code.

Do a fresh installation and document it / supply a ready-to-use image?

Postprocessing in background thread

Dynamically calculate IMAGE_SIZE

Check the camera's features

Fail if the connected camera doesn't support "take a picture and send it to me".

Font size for text to display

Currently it's not possible to change the font size for text to display. Make it possible.

Perhaps also add a function to automatically scale the text to fit - and possibly automatically add line breaks.

Check for write permission on photos

Move the TK stuff to a dedicated class Display

Add postprocessing scripts

Add the postprocessing scripts to the repository.

Check free space

Fail if less than 2 GB (?) are free.
