# digipy
This tool is a small wrapper around the [digicamcontrol.com](https://digicamcontrol.com/) API.
It is used to control my Canon EOS 600D camera in my [photobooth](https://github.com/PhotoboothProject/photobooth) setup.
## install
There are two ways to use this.
1. From Source
2. Packaged pyinstaller version (easier)
### From source
1. Download python 11 from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
2. Install python
3. Download the [digipy](./digipy) directory and [start script](./bin/digipy)
4. Put these files into `C:\Apache24\htdocs\api\`
### Packaged version
Download the packaged exe file from [here](https://github.com/dadav/digipy/releases) and put it in your api directory (usually `C:\Apache24\htdocs\api\`).
## Usage
You need to give digipy the following informations:
Which **mode** you want to use, [slc](https://www.digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/singlecmd) or [cmd](https://www.digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/web).
The cmd or slc command you want to use.
And the parameters you want to use.
And of cause a running digicamcontrol instance with the webserver
listening on port **5513**.
### Examples
```bash
# change the session folder to c:\foo\bar
digipy slc set session.folder c:\foo\bar
# list available cameras
digipy slc list cameras
# capture photo and save it to c:\foo.jpg
digipy slc capture c:\foo.jpg
```
### Photobooth
Adjust the commands in your photobooth setup to this:
```bash
# Before photo command: Start Liveview
digipy cmd LiveViewWnd_Show
# Capture command
digipy slc capture %s
# After photo command: Hide Liveview
digipy cmd LiveViewWnd_Hide
```
## Configuration
You can change the host with the `DIGIPY_HOST` and the port
with the `DIGIPY_PORT` env variable.
For example:
`DIGIPY_PORT=9999 digipy slc capture %s`
## Development
If you want to contribute to this project, then you can run the following commands to get the required environment:
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r dev.txt
```
Changes in the requirements go into the [requirements.in](./requirements.in) file and can be compiled with
```bash
# create new requirements.txt and update deps
pip-compile -U requirements.in
# don't forget dev.in
pip-compile -U dev.in
# then sync the new deps to your env
pip-sync dev.txt
```
