# Photobooth

This application is supposed to run on a linux machine which is connected to a (gphoto)[http://www.gphoto.org/] supported camera ([list](http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php)).

The *Angular.js* frontend uses a *Ruby on Rails* server on the backend to trigger and process the pictures.
Any tablet or notebook with a web-browser connected to the same wifi as the raspi
will work as a screen.

LEDs can get connected to the Raspberry Pi's gpio ports.
LEDs can get connected to the Raspberry Pi's [gpio ports](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/).
It uses port 23 for 'ready', the ports 4,5,6,17 for picture 1-4 and port 24 for 'image processing'.

By default, the UI runs in read-only mode (no '*take a picture*' and '*delete*' buttons), so that you can share the url with the users,
that are connected to the same wifi. So they can directly download and share the pictures

## My Photobooth:

My current photobox setup is a Raspberry Pi 3, a Nikon D60 with a Nikkor 35mm lens and a Nexus 7 tablet. All build into an old wooden suitcase.
It can run completely from battery for 2-3 hours.

It was already used at multiple parties and weddings.
