Hi there,

Is there an updated version to work with the TKinter format changes for python3. I am also using a raspberry Pi 3 board if this makes a difference? Also it is saying that the PIL is missing even though I have installed it. Any help would be great.

Thank you for doing the updates they work very well and I am having a large amount of success using this app. I was wondering if you may add a feature that adds an overlay onto the video/photos captured. Such as GPS, or even RTC data. or may already know a way of doing this? however, the time stamped files are a useful alternative. I think a lot of people have been waiting for a RPi camera GUI like this for a very long time and this does every job it needs too really. :)

No problem,

One option I know of is that adafruit produce a board that is compatible with the raspberry pi that is called their GPS breakout board. So I don't know whether the data coming from that could be read by the Pi and implemented into the App. Or another possibility I was looking at was using a GNSS antenna to produce a raw NAV string that could then be fed into the raspberry pi using a serial port and that data then transferred into the App, however this is a more complex option.

Thanks
Ben

Hi @vidapp, try these commands:

  1. sudo pip3 install pillow --upgrade

  2. sudo python3 PiCameraApp.py

I had some issues on RPi 3 B+ to install imagetk, after upgrade the pillow with pip3 the problem was solved.

@Billwilliams1952 --Very nice, useful and professional looking gui for rpi camera. Just want to know if time stamp can be displayed at the bottom of frame (just curious, no problem at all). Again, great App. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, having issues running the app. Was initially the tk module but now it isn't detecting the picamera module for some reason?
ImportError: you do not seem to have picamera installed

I definitely do, and have run the test they recommend on their documentation:
python -c "import picamera"
With no errors

PSA: figured a few things out
1- You have to install picamera via apt install, it won't work if you do it via pip
2- if you're getting the error of certain assets not being there, make sure you are in the source directory (which is actually in the readme but easy to miss)

hi ozymandias,
i also encounter some problem running the app.
my current startsetup is python3 /home/pi/PiCameraApp-master/Source/PiCameraApp.py
which leads to "Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/pi/PiCameraApp-master/Source/AnnotationOverlay.py", line 61, in
import picamera
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'picamera'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

File "/home/pi/PiCameraApp-master/Source/AnnotationOverlay.py", line 65, in
raise ImportError("You do not seem to have picamera installed")
ImportError: You do not seem to have picamera installed

and i do startup it from sourcedirectory.

You say

I definitely do, and have run the test they recommend on their documentation:
python -c "import picamera"

where have you found that help ? do you have a link ? I am also not sure about PiCameraApp vs. picamera ...is it only some abreviation or is it a different name ...
