MMM-GooglePhotos
-
@sdetweil I have the arduino and stepper motor all working and I see he has the orientation labeled in his javascript code but I have no idea how to get the mmm google photos JS to send a command to the arduino motor. Im not a real coder I can just play with other peoples code a bit.
-
@teitlebot yeh, no idea either myself.
Maybe a web service on the Arduino callable from mm modulehttps://www.survivingwithandroid.com/2016/05/arduino-rest-api-iot.html/amp
another example, thinner, more local, esp8266 wifi…

using this second set of info, I was able to add a web server to my arduino ESP8266 sketch in 10 minutes… -
@teitlebot
Interesting Job. I can add notifications for current photo direction.
The only problem is, If frame would be rotated, other MM modules are not rotated automatically. -
@Sean I dont care about the other modules as I would have them off during rotation. Can notifications be sent out of MM to an arduino?
-
@sdetweil He just connects the arduino to the pi serial port. Or I can maybe use ifttt. thanks for the links though.
-
@Sean I think I can access IFTTT or Webhooks from my arduino. Is it possible to send out notifications that way?
-
@teitlebot yes but… image itself will not be rotated by frames direction. It should be rotated again by direction. Think about it. It is totally different work.
-
@teitlebot
There could be some issues.Just rotation will not be what you expect
Unfortunately, as far as I know GooglePhotos remove all your EXIF and it’s metadata has no direction info. So cannot catch the photo direction.
With local stored original photos (or in Dropbox), it might be able to be done.
But it would be totally different program. -
@Sean cant you also catch the direction by height/width?
-
@teitlebot
impossible only with width/height. Imagine some pictures in your mind and rotate it. :D
Or…
Which direction should this photo be rotated? clockwise? counterclockwise? How can we know the direction with only width/height?
