<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHardware:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Raspberry Pi 4, for speed<\/li>
- 8MP rpi camera – should be good enough, need to test.<\/li>
- LED strips for “flash”, 12-24 input, probably 12.<\/li>
- control circuit required, should be able to use GPIO from the pi to PWM brightness<\/li>
- Monitor (hdmi) for preview, instructions, slideshow.<\/li>
- DMD display for “countdown” attract mode. etc.<\/li>
- Arcade Buttons for picture. Cat 5 connectors for ease of connection, or alternatively, leaning toward using an esp 8266 to control the pictures over WiFi captive portal\/url<\/li>
- Computer power supply with +5 and +12, high current for DMD and LEDs etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Software:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Based off of raspian-buster.<\/li>
- Picture taker.<\/li>
- Overlay picture on green screen.<\/li>
- Save Picture with ID.<\/li>
- Captive Portal<\/li>
- Access code required. <\/li>
- Email capture<\/li>
- Photo Download.<\/li>
- DMD Display Process<\/li>
- ESP 8266 button press receiver code.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Implementation, based on pirate box:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
I originally thought somthing based off the pirate box might be cool: https:\/\/piratebox.cc\/raspberry_pi:diy:armbian<\/a>. This was a fail, raspian image was obsolete, and this didnt provide the required functionality
<\/p>\n\n\n\nImplementation, second try:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Next I tried something off of this instructable page<\/a>. I started off with graphical buster:
then<\/p>\n\n\n\nsudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get upgrade\nsudo apt-get dist-upgrade\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nInstall the wireless hotspot<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 1. Setup the access point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Note: use this to set up different repo mirrors, if required: mirror<\/a><\/li>
- Install the access point<\/a><\/li>
- note I did not use any of the ip forwarding stuff.<\/li>
- install the captive portal<\/a><\/li>
- used qifi to generate the qr code for the website<\/a><\/li>
- Captive portal is working. Edit \/etc\/nodogsplash\/htdocs\/splash.html to redirect to the custom webpage using the meta tab<\/a><\/li>
- note we need to use php7.3 which is the default php now<\/li>
- the instructions for directory permissions were wrong, missing -R on chown of group www-data<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
General Software Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Up to this point we have a camera working with some minimal software<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I Used the code from https:\/\/github.com\/hzeller\/rpi-rgb-led-matrix<\/a> for LED matrix code.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInstalled the PCF8523 RTC as per https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adding-a-real-time-clock-to-raspberry-pi\/set-rtc-time<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nA Usb audio dongle was used (i couldn’t use the builtin display, it conflicted with the DMD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
