The Raspberry Pi camera module has built-in timelapse functionality.<\/p>\n
Here’s a command to try:<\/p>\n
raspistill -o timelapse%04d.jpg -t 5000 -tl 1000<\/pre>\nThis will make a time lapse run for 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds), taking a picture every 1 second (1000 milliseconds). It will create files called timelapse0001.jpg, timelapse0002.jpg to 0005. (It uses 4d to say ‘number to 4 places’).<\/p>\n
Please note that if you Ctrl-C during the time lapse, the camera may get ‘stuck’. I’m keeping an eye out for a way to reset it, but I haven’t found it yet.<\/p>\n
Hopefully this will be useful for someone – I’m trawling the Foundation forums for some of these little bits and pieces so that others don’t have to \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
