This project contains the code for a Raspberry Pi time lapse camera. There are three main files included; the Python script for taking the photos, a System D service definition and an install Shell script to move everything into the right place and activate the service etc.
Using a Lisiparoi IR LED Module and a NoIR Raspberry Pi Camera, connect up your hardware as per this diagram:
The GPIO for the LED should be on GPIO 2 and the LED needs a 5V power input. Beware that these LED modules can get quite hot during normal operation!
Attach your NoIR Raspberry Pi camera module into the Lisipario as described here: http://www.lisiparoi.com/how-to-use/ and then attach your NoIR Raspberry Pi camera to the Pi as usual.
- Enable your PiCamera:
sudo raspi-config- Select
5 Interfacing Options - Select
P1 Camera - Select
Yes - Select
OK - Select
Finish - Select
Yesto reboot now
- Move into your home directory
cd ~ - Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/HullRaspJam/Time_Lapse.git - Move into the repository directory
cd Time_Lapse/ - Run
./install.shto create the required directories, copy the files into the correct place and enable teh service - Run
sudo shutdown now -hPYour time lapse will start after 5 minutes from the next time you power on your Pi.
