oct 21 -> 4 dummies attending. Evo starts with showing Dutch Design Week project. Making a physical poster. Take pictures from above. Installation with camera above + lights, and flatbed underneath it. Arduino and button to control camera. PVC pipes run from platform to flatbed with all cables (unstable).

  • Without button: connect wires to test Arduino
  • leave test script on computer there to see if button is working
  • Arduino: take picture
  • python script: kill P2P camera program so iPhoto doesn't open. Instead open gPhoto. save it, write it, etc
grep "bla" *
ps ax | grep "PTPCamera" 
// returns camera number 752
kill -9 752
ps ax | grep "PTPCamera" | grep -v "grep"
gphoto2 -a
  • work with PIL and ImageMagick
  • copy to temporary directory: folder of web page. For open day this was written in AppleScript, now in gPhoto: free software to communicate with digital cameras.
  • rotate picture 90 degrees
  • Copy to local image gallery
  • refresh browser -> chrome script (command shift f)
  • also set up default start-up, and kiosk for browser, full-screen browser etc etc
