Record video off the CSI connection? #2

Open marketmaster80 opened 5 years ago

marketmaster80 commented 5 years ago

Does RoadapplePi record directly off the CSI connection without modifying the software? I saw you used an USB webcam in development and did not see information about the CSI connection.

Also, is there plans to add GPS data? I would be interested in potentially funding both of those options.

+1 on that. Would love to know.

@marketmaster80 i've made a simple script to record from CSI rather than video0/1 https://github.com/alextovey/cardashcam

Another +1 for the CSI cam. I'm trying to build something super small and a webcam will add a lot of bulk to the project

I am recording Video on the RPi Zero W using the Noir camera on Raspbian Lite successfully.

I needed to add a symbolic link at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg pointing to /usr/bin/ffmpeg and also load bcm2835-v4l2 to get it working.

Hope this is of some help to somebody.

P.S. I also had to install ffmpeg myself after the install script had ran but i think that was due to an issue i caused rather than the script itself.

@thedcspace , do you have a complete code that includes this modification? It would be greatly appreciated.

DogsbodyServices commented 5 years ago

I have forked the project to make changes directly to the code but i have not yet tested the changes, you might be better served making the changes manually.

Run the below to enable the module to load at boot: cat <<EOF>> /etc/modules-load.d/picamera.conf bcm2835-v4l2 EOF

Run the below to create the symbolic Link: ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Your mileage may vary but that got it working for me.
