Do it Yourselfie, an Android ThingsP hoto Booth

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Build of an Android Things photo booth uses Raspberry Pi 3 with the Pi Camera v2 (8MP), a big red normally-closed button as trigger, a two-way mirror over a 21" monitor, and a Rainbow HAT for status LEDs and counters. Photos save as JPEG locally and a companion mobile app shares OAuth tokens to the device via Nearby, while WorkManager queues uploads to Google Photos when network appears. It works live but struggles with low light, RTC time drift and intermittent power; code is open source.
