Camera implementation
-
Hey guys , as part of a university project I have to implement a camera into my magic mirror, it doesn’t matter how or what the camera should do, any idea how I can do it?
I can use a web cam or a pi camera for this project -
@jaimegarzont look at the third party modules, linked in the header above, search on camera
-
@jaimegarzont lots of different camera tools. Pretty easy.
-
@BKeyport cool, like which ones?
-
@sdetweil do you know which ones are still working? I tried with mmm-selfieshot but it wasn’t compatible with my pi cam
-
@jaimegarzont no. sorry.

If MMM-SelfieShot is giving you trouble, you might want to look at MMM-TelegramBot or MMM-OpenCV. Most of the older camera modules struggle with the newer Pi camera drivers (libcamera), but OpenCV is much more flexible. For a university project, using the OpenCV module might even give you some extra ‘tech’ points since it can handle face detection too!
