GPN17:Building a Photobooth

aus dem Wiki des Entropia e.V., CCC Karlsruhe

Ein Vortrag von Fraxinas auf der GPN17.

A Photobooth is an automatic unit that takes photos with a DSLR camera, shows a preview on a touchscreen and allows users to print them. The Schaffenburg Hackerspace designed and built such a machine from scratch.

In this presentation, I will talk about our motivation for starting such a big project. Covered topics include:

  • evaluation + selection of the used hardware and software components
  • building the wooden case and 3d-printing parts
  • using Arduino for effect lighting
  • setting up the camera and external flash
  • introduction of the gstreamer- / gtk-based software
  • demonstration
  • problems and prospects
