@@geekydad8565 I am currently in the process of rebuilding a photo booth, but at the moment I'm having issues with the Raspberry Pi. When I start Pibooth, a small window opens, but then the program crashes. I'm not sure what's causing this problem or how to fix it.
@ElfenBoss18 if you run the pibooth command from s terminal you'll at least get errors from there. If you rely on the auto startup then it will disappear. In my case the errors usually relate to the camera not being detected on startup. Let us know how you go
@@geekydad8565 Hello ; ) I managed to get it to start, I had a Raspberry 4 and there were complications that I fixed ;) now I have to get the QR code and upload the photo
Hi! Nice work! I'm trying to reproduce the same thing but I'm having trouble with neopixel. Using the example code, I end up in rainbow mode. Could you share your .py file?
Thx a lot, it works fine now, the countdown on the pixel ring is on rainbow color and i power it via the gpio pins, why did you power it via usb, is the pi not strong enough?
While it can power the lights, too many running at it's highest brightness can damage the board. I can't remember the safe number others have calculated online on how many LEDs you can drive but 16 was too many in my case
For the two front buttons I didn't need to. They work out of the box. You'll just need to be sure you wire it up correctly like in the diagram. Unless you're talking about the power button?
I'm struggleing, at the very beginning it says tu use Debian Buster and later video shows Bullseye. Can you please clarify? It is been 2 days with pain to make it work without success
Shows bullseye later? Maybe that's a mistake I made?? At the time of recording bullseye was not compatible with pibooth. With version 3 out now it does now although I have never tried it. If you're using version 3 it will be best to follow the instructions on the pibooth website. documentation.pibooth.org/en/3.x/sources/install.html
Great video! Just found this, im trying for weeks now to get my DSLR sony a7iii to take pictures, but constantly im having errors, crashes, its really annoying, ive tried all the options of RPi 4b builds....not many works 😞
For button 1 and 2 you need a cable for each going to the ground pin on the pi. Physical number of the pin is 6. Its the 4th down on the outer edge of the board. The remaining cable for button 1 goes to GPIO pin 17 (phys number 11 or the 6th down of the inner row) and the remaining cable for button 2 goes to GPIO pin 27 (phys number 13 or the 7th pin down from the inner row). Here is another diagram with the pin outs that may paint a better picture. pinout.xyz/
Hi, if you're asking about the wiring here is a circuit diagram which may help. documentation.pibooth.org/en/stable/sources/install.html#circuit-diagram. Can you please give me more detail on what you mean by config? Works out of the box so you shouldn't need any
Thank you. I share for that very reason. They are Dupont jumper wires. I bought a pack from eBay a long time ago. Just look at what you need in terms of the connectors ie male or female on each end
@@geekydad8565 ohhh! to be honest i got a bit confused because i saw the dupont connector but then spade on the other side. so the spade connectors that you used for the ground cabling would have been spade to female dupont with the dupont side snipped? is that right? what about those chunky connectors on the neon pix ring? i am thinking of skippoing the neon ring altogether but in case i decide to use it... what are those called?
@Rafa.T. oh right. The spades I had laying around and you're correct. I just cut the wire and soldered it on. The chunky ones on the ring I got in a set that came with a wire stripper. It's not required, you could just go without the connector or find some other random type of connector if you needed something
@geekydad8565 nice nice thank you! I already got it working on pi 3 such a fun little project. The kids will love it. Thanks again for the video and the responses ♥️
Does the QR code work for you even though it is small? Originally the QR code is small but it didn't work until I configured it to use the dropbox URL. The longer the URL the bigger the QR code. Also the smaller the screen and higher the resolution setting the smaller everything will be on your display. What size screen and what resolution are you using?
Possibly but not sure of what things you may need to overcome (if any). Doing a quick Google search, someone online claims they have done it for themselves too.
I did mine via usb. FYI Pibooth won't run if you don't have a camera connected to it when it starts unless you have a plugin installed for debugging that pretends there is a camera active. Might be the reason why you are having issue. I think this is a compatible list that I just googled. The DSLR needs to be compatible with gphoto2. gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php
I haven't come across this error but if you're using the DSLR you need to add an extra variable during installation for DLSR specifically. Not sure what else it may be otherwise. Maybe not a supported model???
Eeek..i can't remember. I was bulding this with my kids so I had to go slow and it was my first time using a table saw. A lot of start and stop and trial and error. It was no weekend project! Take the box out of it and the rest can be done in hours
Nice one. I will rebuild it for my wedding! :) ❤
Great idea and congrats for the upcoming nuptials
very good video thanks, everything is well explained !
Great video, beautifully detailed. I also want to build one with a DSLR camera, I think it should be possible.
Before my pi cam was delivered I used a DSLR to test which worked for me. Good luck and let me know how you go
I'm talking about the button you added for photo selection.
They work by default without added config. What's happening on your end to try to help you out? Make sure the wiring is correct as per the diagram here documentation.pibooth.org/en/stable/sources/install.html#circuit-diagram
Danke Sehr grüße aus Deutschland :)

@christophernowack4971 great progress. Sorry I couldn't help there. At the time i set mine up the pi4 was not compatible
Hi! Nice work! I'm trying to reproduce the same thing but I'm having trouble with neopixel. Using the example code, I end up in rainbow mode. Could you share your .py file?
I'll have to see what I can do in a week or so. A lil crazy right now in the holidays.

Hello, Thank you, it works, can you tell me if it is possible to modify the portrait and landscape state by pressing a push button?
Hi, it's not available as a standard. It could be a feature request you can make on their git or try develop yourself a plugin
I would need to see your configured file to know which line you modified to add a button.
For the two front buttons I didn't need to. They work out of the box. You'll just need to be sure you wire it up correctly like in the diagram. Unless you're talking about the power button?
@@TheAirSit for the power button its in the boot config file. I have the command in the video description too if you haven't seen it

Thank you for your response. But I still don't understand how you connected the 2 buttons for selecting 1 or 3 photos on which GPIO pin?
For button 1 and 2 you need a cable for each going to the ground pin on the pi. Physical number of the pin is 6. Its the 4th down on the outer edge of the board. The remaining cable for button 1 goes to GPIO pin 17 (phys number 11 or the 6th down of the inner row) and the remaining cable for button 2 goes to GPIO pin 27 (phys number 13 or the 7th pin down from the inner row).

hello how do you add a second button for 3 picture and what modification in the config file thank you

this video has been so educational! love it. Is there any chance you could advise on the cables you used? Like their names? so i can find them?

@Rafa.T. Too easy. Glad it spawned other family projects!
You blinking Rock!
I read this comment with tired eyes and had the image of a stone with eyes
I have everything set up with DSLR and printer, could it be that pibooth does not start if no camera is connected?
hello how do you have a large qr code mine is very small thank you
Sorry can you please rephrase your question, I do not understand
hello, the qr code is very large on the screen and mine is very small

Awesome project ! Will it run on pi zero w also ?
