Python Picamera with GPIO Zero

Transcript

1. Python Picamera with GPIO Zero Introducing the camera board and

   Python module

2. Raspberry Pi camera module - 5Mpx / 8Mpx - Full

   HD - Photo & video - Command line - Python module - Infra-red camera

3. Connect the camera

4. Add a GPIO Button

5. Boot the Pi and open Python 3

6. 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

7. Open a new file • File > New File •

   File > Save • Save as camera.py

8. 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

9. 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()

10. 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()

11. Picamera effects

12. 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

13. 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
