Triggering the camera with a push button, raspberry Pi and python script #755
Comments
Hi, do you want to press a pushbutton, connected to the Pi, and let the Pi execute a software trigger, For software trigger, please find the example under: "samples/grabstrategies.py" |
@HighImp I want to press a pushbutton connected to the GPIO of the RPI and from that the camera should take a picture. |
One possible implementation is roughly this import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
from pypylon import pylon
# Configure GPIO
BUTTON_PIN = 18 # Change this to your actual GPIO pin number
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(BUTTON_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
# Configure camera
camera = pylon.InstantCamera(pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance().CreateFirstDevice())
camera.Open()
# Set camera to software trigger mode
camera.TriggerMode.SetValue('On')
camera.TriggerSource.SetValue('Software')
def trigger_camera(channel):
print("Button pressed, sending software trigger to camera...")
camera.TriggerSoftware.Execute()
grabResult = camera.RetrieveResult(5000, pylon.TimeoutHandling_ThrowException)
if grabResult.GrabSucceeded():
# Access the image data
image = grabResult.Array
print("Image grabbed successfully.")
# Do something with the image (e.g., save it, process it, etc.)
else:
print("Failed to grab image.")
grabResult.Release()
# Add event detection on the button pin
GPIO.add_event_detect(BUTTON_PIN, GPIO.FALLING, callback=trigger_camera, bouncetime=300)
print("Waiting for button press...")
try:
# Start grabbing asynchronously.
camera.StartGrabbing(pylon.GrabStrategy_OneByOne, pylon.GrabLoop_ProvidedByInstantCamera)
while camera.IsGrabbing():
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Exiting...")
# Clean up
GPIO.cleanup()
camera.StopGrabbing()
camera.Close() |
Thank you @thiesmoeller :) |
Getting images by triggering the camera with a push button and a raspberry pi 4:
Hi,
I'm developing a project where I have to acquire images and process them for object detection using YoloV5. At the moment I have a code that opens the camera and shows me an image, and if I press a random key of the keyboard it shows me the image of that moment. However, I don't want that and instead, I would want to get an image when I press a push button. How can I do it?
I'm new to pylon so there might be some errors in the code.
Any help on this would be appreciated :)
