This program is a python3 flask web server application that allows control of a pimoroni pantilthat with a picamera2 compatible camera module attached.
A web page displays a low latency live camera video stream.
Keyboard arrow keys or on screen navigation buttons control pan-tilt. A Take Photo button can be used to take, view and save an image to a specified folder.
The Save image folder path will be auto created per config.py setting.
A view photos button brings up a browse thumbnails image grid web page of previously saved images. Click on Thumbnail to view full size image.
I developed this app completely from scratch using only DeepSeek generative AI prompts for the main coding. I did add the import from config.py feature myself, plus miscellaneous edits and fixes.
I called my DeepSeek AI assistant Codey. The basic version took approximately two hours for the AI interaction and testing on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.
I started from scratch using just prompts and no example starting code. The Take and View photos feature took quite a bit longer due to trouble shooting and testing issues.
