Home Made Camera

A while back I started working on a home made camera powered by a Raspberry Pi. Today I went back to discover just how much of a mess I’d made of it. I’ve done some tidying up (i.e. made it work), added a user interface and got it mostly working. I want the camera to have a voice interface and let you edit the images by telling the camera what to do. It’s kind of a homage to this one, but portable and with less Lego.

I’m using an LCD touch screen which I’m driving “by hand” (i.e. not through a graphical desktop). This means you should be able to use it on low-powered headless devices which don’t have a GUI installed. The camera itself won’t do much thinking, it will pass the images and the instructions off to a server which will do the heavy lifting. The next thing I need is a box.
