Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
Tom, StereoPi will use mobile data only it you set up a streaming to the Internet (like YouTube). If you just look at the livestream on your phone from the StereoPi, no mobile data is used. Actually your StereoPi's WiFi dongle and phone's WiFi have a bandwidth load. Really? How does this magic work...

Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
Ah, I didn't see this message sorry! Thanks for all the explanations :) I might try looking at using a HDMI screen then, although the connectors are often bulky. It's why I wanted to use something like the 2inch Waveshare screen I found, to help minimise the space I need inside of the case. I've don...

Re: A physical button to take photos
Sorry Stereomaton, I did feel slightly put upon by what you said, but that's because of the constant harassment I go through on a weekly basis at my job, which has given me insecurities and a complex about my programming :( Your advice has been taken on board. I used to take such things easily, now ...

Re: A physical button to take photos
The first thing I notice is that the shebang is at the wrong place. To execute a text file, the kernel needs to know with which interpreter to run it and it is described by the first line starting with #! . Move your description after it. Alternatively you can launch the text file directly from the...

Re: A physical button to take photos
So, with the help of Realizator, I'm back up and running! If you want to use the Python files I created, here's a step by step guide to get it running: Step 1: Wire up the two pins, GPIO 004 for the button and one of the GROUND pins, I used Board Pin 9. Step 2. Power up the StereoPi and make the fil...

Re: A physical button to take photos
Ah, do I have to type python script.py into run.sh? I did this: sudo nano /opt/StereoPi/run.sh and then added this: ./scripts/trigger.py & but it never ran on startup. I'm afraid I think I've broken all of it, as now my Pi won't load anything and the web interface isn't appearing, nor can I find its...

Re: A physical button to take photos
Hey all, I'm working on my own version of this, but am having trouble getting my script to run as part of run.sh I've added my script file to it, but it's not running on startup :S I followed the step by step guide too, so it should work fine. I've basically copied the make_photo.php file and made a...

Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
Hi Tom, Why do you need to write files to the Linux partition? Several reasons for not to use this: 1. Filesystem is read-only by default. It saves Linux in a case of occasional power off. 2. Space is limited, and it is not easy to increase it (as system use this default size to format all other sp...

Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
Hey guys, is it possible to create a directory on the StereoPi through Python? I'm getting authority issues here, was just wondering if I could take a photo and store it on device in a new directory! I'm getting the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/StereoPi/scripts/trigger2.p...

Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
The code (and other details) of the stereomaton is available here: https://github.com/haum/stereomaton However, it is mostly a collection of hacks. I never found time to work on a better version for the moment. In a new version, the goal is to replace the screen by one with an HDMI interface (SPI s...

Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
A-ha, you're planning to do a variable stereobase! Cool! As for the button - we have a simple Python script for this, designed for the SLP Raspbian image. If it will be a screen on the back of the case, or you will use a phone as a viewfinder? Or this is a remote setup for the birds photo hunting? ...

Re: Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
Hey there! No problem, hope they are useful for you and for all tinkerers! Ah ok cool, what kind of advice can you offer? I'd ideally like a physical button somewhere on my case design that I can press to take a photo. I've attached a few images of the modular case design. The High Quality camera at...

Re: Raspberry Pi Spy Cameras and Miniaturisation!
Ah yes, those were the spy cams I was thinking of, I'll have to get some eventually! Having a smaller stereobase would be great for the projects I have in mind!

Re: Raspberry Pi Spy Cameras and Miniaturisation!
I'm currently playing around with the v1 camera boards I have, I've managed to get the cameras closer together, but it's a bit hacky and results in a slight height difference, which would need to be edited after taking photos/videos. This is why I ask about the extension cables!

Raspberry Pi Spy Cameras and Miniaturisation!
Hey folks, just wondering if anyone has used any of the smaller Spy Cams that are compatible with the Raspberry/Stereo Pi boards? I'm thinking by using these cameras you could potentially have a much better chance of taking macro photos, as there's the chance of building a custom case that would mak...

Another Stereoscopic Camera Project
Hey all! Thought I'd post on here as I've been speaking to realizator for a while on Twitter talking about the StereoPi. I'm in the process of building a stereoscopic camera with the StereoPi and wanted to pick people's brains about taking stills and saving them to device/transferring them over wifi...
