Raspberry Pi Twitter Photo Booth

This is a Raspberry Pi application that allows users to take photos of themselves and post them on Twitter. Before uploading the image, a logo is added to the image.

Features

• Take pictures with the click of a button
• Preview of the image before uploading
• Option to accept or reject the picture
• Post accepted pictures on Twitter with a predefined caption

Prerequisites

This script requires the following Python packages:

• RPi.GPIO
• picamera
• tweepy
• os
• time
• show_img
• pin_funcs
• sys

Install them with pip install <package-name>.

Setup

1. Connect the Raspberry Pi camera module and the button to the GPIO ports.
2. Insert your Twitter API keys and tokens into the respective variables at the top of the script:

# Consumer keys and access tokens, used for OAuth
consumer_key = 'your_consumer_key'
consumer_secret = 'your_consumer_secret'
access_token = 'your_access_token'
access_token_secret = 'your_access_token_secret'

3. Run the script.

Usage
