hourly pictures
would it be possible to alter the code to have the camera make a picture every hour, half hour or quarter hour (using rpis time settings)? we're working on a sky camera that should shoot in at fixed times of the day. thanks for any idea ;o)
Namorrellek,
I am working on a project to use something similar for long-term construction projects. The best and simplest solution I could find is to use a cron scheduler from the apscheduler library. It does most of the math for you. For instance, I am able to have it only trigger the camera Monday thru Friday from 6am to 6pm every 15 minutes. So it'll trigger the camera at 6:15, 6:30, etc. I could also give it specific times to shoot in lieu of setting an interval.
Hi wlockiv,
could you please post more info on your aproach (or maybe even put it into a git ;D ). I guess more people are interested in that kind of timer for the timelapse (I definatly am).
Thanks in advance and have a nice day! =)
@BenSta13 I'm actually not too familiar with making repo's. It's really only one .py file anyway. I've made a gist for it though.
It's been a while since I've tinkered with this project, but feel free to ask questions.
thanks alot, for the code! I will take a look at it when I find the time. Maybe some questions will come up then. We'll see.... ;) =)
10-4. I haven't worked on it in some time, but I'll try to help best I can.
