Raspberry Pi Photo Booth Project

Haven't used it since March... But the Good weather is keeping me on the streets, ill get back to this project once it gets cold. Today I brought it to the office to have some fun.

The thing behind the camera is the bottom part of the button. It has 2 wires from the trigger and 2 for the led inside. I’ve been trying to use the led but it’s too dimmed, need to work on it.

Finally after trying several cables, I was able to connect the RPi to the TFT monitor! Now I need to get the right settings for it...

I’m also trying to get some overlay text in the photo preview, saying something like smile… Or maybe random texts, like “fix your hair”, “really?”, “beautiful”. But I haven’t had much time to do it.

Let’s build some cables!!! Well, not yet, still some parts missing.

And cardboard (temporary) housing for the photo booth is set!

And we got a temporary place for the big red button!

Wanted to watch TV and continue on the project… Building a temporary housing for the pi + big red button + mess of cables. Missing an exacto knife or however is called so a corkscrew would work!

Took him to visit the office :-) his new SD card is ready, tonight I'll set it up (again, but it should be easier and faster).

Last night I tried to set up the Xbox 360 controller... Failed :( once I move the files for the photo booth to the new SD card, I'll try again and might try a start from scratch.
