Hi there,

Is there an updated version to work with the TKinter format changes for python3. I am also using a raspberry Pi 3 board if this makes a difference? Also it is saying that the PIL is missing even though I have installed it. Any help would be great.

Billwilliams1952 commented 6 years ago

I’m getting ready to upload a new version this week. (Getting time to do it)

I’ve been running Python 2.7 but I’ll now test it under Python 3.x (latest) and let you know what I discover. I’ll also investigate the PIL problem.

Sorry you’re having so much trouble.

Yep, lots of problems with libraries using Python3. I am going through the code and fixing the imports.

PIL is a problem with Python 3.

Be patient. Bill

PIL on the RPI is the PILLOW fork which should be installed. However, ImageTk under Python 3 requires a library which was not installed on my RPI.

sudo apt-get install python3-pil.imagetk Other code incompatibilities when moving to Python 3. Will document in the README file when the updates are uploaded to Github. This week! Bill

Version 0.2 is on Github. It ‘should’ work with Python 2.7.13 or Python 3.5.3.

Good luck and please give me feedback on issues/problems/suggestions.

Thank you for doing the updates they work very well and I am having a large amount of success using this app. I was wondering if you may add a feature that adds an overlay onto the video/photos captured. Such as GPS, or even RTC data. or may already know a way of doing this? however, the time stamped files are a useful alternative. I think a lot of people have been waiting for a RPi camera GUI like this for a very long time and this does every job it needs too really. :)

Ben

Billwilliams1952 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for your comments!

You can add text, time stamp, and frame number to the overlay, image, videos. As to GPS, this could be added but I would need info on where/how the GPS data is obtained. Can you give me more info?

No problem,

One option I know of is that adafruit produce a board that is compatible with the raspberry pi that is called their GPS breakout board. So I don't know whether the data coming from that could be read by the Pi and implemented into the App. Or another possibility I was looking at was using a GNSS antenna to produce a raw NAV string that could then be fed into the raspberry pi using a serial port and that data then transferred into the App, however this is a more complex option.

Thanks Ben

Billwilliams1952 commented 6 years ago

Ok, I can look into an interface that you could use that would read the GPS data and output it to the video/image and/or save into the EXIF metadata (for JPEG images)

Give me a bit to think about it.

Hi Jake,

Can you provide more info on your problems?

Hi @vidapp, try these commands:

  1. sudo pip3 install pillow --upgrade

  2. sudo python3 PiCameraApp.py

I had some issues on RPi 3 B+ to install imagetk, after upgrade the pillow with pip3 the problem was solved.

Hi,

The PiCameraApp only works with the RPI camera module (currently versions V1 or V2).

@Billwilliams1952 --Very nice, useful and professional looking gui for rpi camera. Just want to know if time stamp can be displayed at the bottom of frame (just curious, no problem at all). Again, great App. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, having issues running the app. Was initially the tk module but now it isn't detecting the picamera module for some reason? ImportError: you do not seem to have picamera installed

I definitely do, and have run the test they recommend on their documentation: python -c "import picamera" With no errors

PSA: figured a few things out 1- You have to install picamera via apt install, it won't work if you do it via pip 2- if you're getting the error of certain assets not being there, make sure you are in the source directory (which is actually in the readme but easy to miss)
