Snap a photo with a momentary pushbutton

OpenMV Boards
1

I was thinking of using the openMV RT1062 to snap a photo triggered by a pushbutton. Is this possible? I’m going to machine this enclosure and mount it on this table and I want to be able to have the openMV camera snap a photo of a package, then send the image to file share server for manual inspection of the label on the package.

Yes, this is pretty straight forward.

  1. See our example scripts for connecting to WiFi.
  2. Figure out what the prototocol is for sending data to the sever.
  3. Test that protocol with Python on the deskop.
  4. Ask ChatGPT for help changing that desktop code to micropython.
  5. You want to ask it how to send a jpeg bytearray(). This is the easist way to send an image.
  6. Then, button reading is just machine.Pin().
