Is it possible to have touchscreen layout/support rather than a button configuration?

Is there optionally the possibility to change the background RGB-Color to a uploaded .jpg or .png file to make the printed postcard more interesting?

I think it would be interesting to add the GPIO pin in the config, se the user can easily change it if he already use one pin for another application. What do you think @anxuae ?

After taking fotos and displaying them, the programm aborts when no further button is pressed. I've installed pibooth with no-deps, because I want to conduct it without printing photos.

Is it possible to run the programm without the printing option? My idea is, after diplaying the taken photos, return to start for a new session without fading in the printing option.

hi,
firstly, this is an excellent project. im really impressed, it looks great and its fairly easy to use for someone like me!
i have tried using the touch screen events (take pic etc) which work very well however when i use it as full screen (via the config) the touch screen doesnt work. is there a work around for this?

Also for the GPIO buttons i am having some issues, it either doesnt work or if it does it will read multiple presses. Just for clarification the definitions in the config are they for the physical pins or the GPIO numbers.

many thanks in advance.

It could be interesting to hide the arrows (indicating the HW buttons) when a touchscreen is used as they are useless.

Hi,
I uninstalled, rebooted and installed pibooth in version 0.0.7 and started pibooth normally:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pibooth
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pibooth", line 7, in

This was the reaction. Can you help me?

Image effect could be defined in the config:

• picamera: use the attribute defined here: https://picamera.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.10/api_camera.html#picamera.camera.PiCamera.image_effect
• gphoto2: use the PIL library as defined here https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/5.2.x/reference/ImageFilter.html (not all picamera filters available)
• possible to define a different effect for each capture (or one for all)

This is not an issue so much as a lightweight way of gathering information about which feature is missing to pibooth. This is mostly to satisfy our curiosity, but might also help us decide how to evolve the project.

So, if you use pibooth, please post here and tell us more! And if you like this project, add a star ⭐.

There are lots of keys in the config. Some one can be removed to ease the pibooth configuration (e.g. arrows).

Hi,

There is a glitch when there is no layout selection (for exemple with captures = (4) in configuration).
When passing from take picture screen to camera preview, the take picture screen stay for ~1s with preview on screen.
I'll try to make a picture of the glitch.

Thanks.

Here is the traceback, seems to happen in very low luminosity.

Take picture and save it in /home/pi/Pictures/pibooth/2018-03-20-19-07-45/ptb000.jpg

Make it work with the EOS 1100D
Try to have a preview

A GUI can be made using pygame can be made to ease the configuration edition:

• maybe use the library https://github.com/ppizarror/pygame-menu
• develop it in a new python module (could be used in standalone mode to edit without starting pibooth)
• the call to this GUI could be done in the method PiConfigParser.open_editor()

As it is very long and optional to have them it shall be possible to install pibooth via pip without them.

Request from @thifi in #31

"""
I want to make a postcard with 4 photos with a special backgraund for these 4 photos, so it is important, that the user select these option.
One way is to make the 4 photo selection as default (and if nothing selected, the 4 photos where taken). The other way is to make the selection in the config without a choise for the user (avoid the selection in frontend).
"""

My choice would be to do the second option, hence the title of the issue.

As described by @Aurel-Charles in #42 (comment)_, it could be nice to separate the final photos from the intermediate ones.

Dear werdeil,

sorry for my bad english and my questions, I'm electronic engineer in hardware, not a software developer.

First many thanks for sharing your code for the pibooth, I want to build one for an event of my 14years old daughter called "Jugendweihe" in Germany in may.

I used your code and after some hours of study it worked on my Pi3, but I have 2 questions about:

1. Is it possible to implement the control of another GPIO of the Pi to turn on/off an LED-light for the picam or an ambi-light on the box?

2. I get after printing on a Selphy 1300 a postcard in portrait-mode, is it also possible to design the pictures in landscape-mode?

Many many thanks for your understanding of my problems and you help.

Best regards
Thilo

In commit 8637726 I have introduced a language option in the config, but this option is read in the init.py of the pictures folder.

I don't like the idea of having a part of the config hidden on the init.py file. We need find a better way.

Hey,

yesterday I tested pibooth.
I have a Sony DSLR and unfortunately the firmware does not support live-view. So
I wanted to ask for the possibility, to use pibooth, without the preview function. It is not directly an issue from pibooth.

I testet gphoto2, capturing is working in console. With the sonyfirmware, unfortunally it is only possible to capture an download the original taken photo, because it does not support the function to store it on memory card.

manny thanks to the developers!

Avoid to set transparency of the preview and reduce darkness.

#18 shall be done before. It depends on how the countdown can be displayed.

Hi guys!
here is my thing:
Ive got Rpi + Canon selphy 1300 printer.
I'v modified the "concatenate" so i can print 2 same strips of 4 pics side by side. (in 4 pics mode of course). Then people just have to cut it with scissors and keep one for themself and leave one for the married
But i want to show only one strip on the print screen.

Is there a way to merged one picture that is shown in the application at the print screen and then at the beginning afterward, and merged another merged picture (from the same photos taken) that will be sent to the printer (in print button is pressed)

is that clear?????? can you help?

i'm new in all of this but i find it fun!!

Thanks anyway, Pibooth application is so good. Great job!

Following second topic on issue #25, we need to implement a landscape mode

I was wanting to know what I would have to put extra on the line for where I am saving the pictures so all of them are saved even after they print? It is only saving the one and when we take another set it writes over and just saves the latest one. It would just be nice to be able to good look back after the event to see what everyone did.

Thanks for the help
Eric

I think it could be interesting to give the users a feedback on the number of print in the queue on cups side.

I'm thinking two options:

• Give the number on a new intermediate screen after pressing the print button
• Give the number on the main screen (small text at the bottom)

@anxuae what do you think?

Hi,

Is it possible to add a blank overlay on the screen just before taking picture (on whole screen, even on camera preview) ? In order to use the screen as a flash.

thanks in advance,
bderenzo

If the user toggle fullscreen on theStateWait state the final image is lost

Hey guys !

I've been trying the Neopixel LED strip , ring ... few days ago . Do you think that there is a way to integrate a script to the Pibooth so it get madly colorfull.
I've been trying but no result for now.
I've just followed these link for the setup :
https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixels-on-raspberry-pi/overview
https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x

Its just an Idea i was thinking about just make it run aside so the ambient LED Strip color is changing a bit for each picture . I also thought putting a Led ring around the piCamera so if i could synchronise it for the start of the capture that would be amazing.

anyway here is my idea , I know it a bit specific but if you guys can help in anyway that would be great!!

A

I think both instances of PtbLed shall use share info to blink in sync.

Hi project works like a charm thanks. I just cannot get how to set Start screen 'take photo' to be touched. In any size, mouse / touch / gpio does the job, but not in fullscreen.
Yet once this screen is passed, in full screen, all other screens work fine with touch...
help :)

I have created a simple example for dev purpose
