Python Picamera with GPIO Zero Introducing the camera board and
Python module
Raspberry Pi camera module - 5Mpx / 8Mpx - Full
HD - Photo & video - Command line - Python module - Infra-red camera
Connect the camera
Add a GPIO Button
Boot the Pi and open Python 3
IDLE Python Shell >>> from picamera import PiCamera >>> from
gpiozero import Button >>> camera = PiCamera() >>> button = Button(17) >>> button.when_pressed = camera.start_preview >>> button.when_released = camera.stop_preview
Open a new file • File > New File •
File > Save • Save as camera.py
Take a selfie from picamera import PiCamera from time import
sleep camera = PiCamera() camera.start_preview() sleep(3) camera.capture("/home/pi/image.jpg") camera.stop_preview() Save and run: Ctrl + S F5
Add GPIO Button code from picamera import PiCamera from gpiozero
import Button from time import sleep camera = PiCamera() button = Button(17) camera.start_preview() button.wait_for_press() sleep(3) camera.capture("/home/pi/button.jpg") camera.stop_preview()
Add a loop camera.start_preview() for i in range(5): button.wait_for_press() sleep(3)
camera.capture("/home/pi/button%s.jpg" % i) camera.stop_preview()
Picamera effects
Picamera effects camera.start_preview() button.wait_for_press() camera.image_effect = 'negative' sleep(5) camera.capture("/home/pi/negative.jpg") camera.stop_preview()
Try more effects: - negative - colorswap - sketch - emboss
Picamera effects import random camera.start_preview() for i in range(5): button.wait_for_press()
effect = random.choice(list(camera.IMAGE_EFFECTS)) camera.image_effect = effect camera.annotate_text = effect sleep(5) camera.capture("/home/pi/%s.jpg" % effect) camera.stop_preview() Try more effects: - negative - colorswap - sketch - emboss
