Dear fellow mirror builders, for my recent mirror project, I would like to include a selfie function in order to document my continuous aging process above 30 :winking_face: For my prototype, I already use MMM-Selfieshot but I have an issue with setting up the image resolution: I cannot use the full resolution of my raspi camera module (v2.1) which would have a native resolution of 3280 × 2464 pixels. If I set the values of “width” and “height” to 3280x2464, the module always takes pictures at 1280x720. I first thought that the module won’t go beyond 1080p resolution of my display (1920x1080) but this resolution is also not possible and remains at 1280x720. Does anyone know, whether 1280x720 is the maximum allowed resolution of MMM-Selfieshot (the github documentation doesn’t clarify either… ) or if there is another way to use the full camera resolution (while still being able to have the “result picture” shown after the taken shot)? If you know other solutions for selfie shots beside MMM-Selfieshot, please let me know as well. Best from Switzerland, Hendrik

@ hclaus This module is using fswebcam external program to take the photo. So you can test your camera and fswebcam by manual like this; fswebcam fswebcam --resolution 3280x2464 (It might need more options. See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/fswebcam.1.html ) Or you can test through another way. (Go to MMM-Selfieshot directory) cd node_modules/node-webcam/bin node ./node-webcam.js --w 3280 --h 2464 --l ~/picture.jpg Check and show me the result.

@bhepler Thanks for your efforts and I already replied via github! You guys rock, while my competencies are definitely more on the hardware/building side :see-no-evil_monkey:
