# Raspberry Pi Photo Booth
The code for my Raspberry Pi Photo Booth (Version 2)
# KNOWN ISSUES
1. Does not work on Raspian Bullseye, due to changes affecting PiCamera.
USE AN OLDER VERSION OF RASPIAN INSTEAD (e.g. Buster).
# Instructions
1. Build a photo booth (see below)
2. Connect your Pi and PiCamera
3. Connect a button to the Pi's GPIO21 and Ground pins.
4. Install git & pip & pillow (which replaces PIL)
`apt update && apt install git python-pip python-imaging`
5. Clone the code:
`git clone https://github.com/jibbius/raspberry_pi_photo_booth.git`
6. Install dependencies:
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
(Or, if you are using python3: `python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`)
7. Activate picamera in raspi-config:
`sudo raspi-config`
You must have camera connected to avoid the error:
`mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM)
mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./camera.py", line 45, in
camera = picamera.PiCamera()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/picamera/camera.py", line 431, in __init__
self._init_camera(camera_num, stereo_mode, stereo_decimate)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/picamera/camera.py", line 460, in _init_camera
"Camera is not enabled. Try running 'sudo raspi-config' "
picamera.exc.PiCameraError: Camera is not enabled. Try running 'sudo raspi-config' and ensure that the camera has been enabled.`
8. Run:
`python ./camera.py`
9. Photos will get saved to photos directory where you can elect to publish them later.
