gPhoto2 Bottle

gPhoto2 Bottle is a simple web app based for controlling cameras supported by gPhoto2 software. The app is based on the Bottle framework. The app is designed for use with Raspberry Pi, but it should run on any Debian or Ubuntu machine.

Features

gPhoto Bottle allows you to perform the following actions:

• Transfer existing photos from the camera to the server
• Take single shot
• Change basic camera settings, including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
• Take a user-defined number of shots at specified intervals
• List the supported configuration options

Remote Cable Shutter Trigger

gPhoto2 Bottle also provides an interface for controlling a transistor-based remote cable shutter trigger. To switch to the interface point the browser to http://127.0.0.1.8080/trigger (replace 127.0.0.1 with the actual IP address of the machine running gPhoto2 Bottle). This part of the app is designed for use with Raspberry Pi and Sony NEX and Alpha series cameras, but it should work with any camera that can be triggered by a simple transistor switch shown below.
