danmacnish / cartoonify Goto Github PK

Hello,

I like this project and I want to build it to offer as gift. :)

I have questions about hardware requirement. Actually the rpi 3 cost 40$, thermal printer 50$ and the pi camera v2 25$ => a total base of 115$ and need to add additionnal equipments (battery, button, etc.). I want if possible to reduce the global price, idea :

• Can we use any thermal printer TTL, or cartoonify is specific to the Adafruit Tiny Printer? I can found other TTL printer at 20$.
• rpi3 is the best powered rpi but we need this version? rpi0 can do the same job? 6$
• same question about pi camera v2, a more cheaper camera can do the job? 5$

Cheaper base 20 + 6 + 5 = 31$ ! Much less than compared to 115$. More attractive...

Hello,

Today I have try to start this project with a raspberry pi 3B :)
HDMI outuput is breaking, so i proceed only via ssh connection.
I think the hardware look's good, no error during installation.
But impossible de get print, picture file, or anything else.
I check the logs/, every minutes a new file are created :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   32 Jan 19 00:51 20190119-0051.log

But always same content :

INFO:loading cartoon dataset...
INFO:loading cartoon dataset...
INFO:loading cartoon dataset...

1, 2 or 3 times on each files.

LED light stays on always. No reaction when a push the button (same if I connect manually the wires ).

Somebody have an idea ? Thanks !

In the docstring suppresson should instead be suppression.

always show enter the filepath of the image to process and cartoonify: command not found?

No issues. Just a great idea.

Can you provide the image of docker?

Hi, I installed but I don't know how to run it.

I show you my terminal session: https://asciinema.org/a/n8VjH60sHnF4SUFGgwiVPXqgR

And the log:

ERROR:No module named RPi.GPIO
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks so much!

Hi there -

I noticed in the diagram, 4xAAA are shown, but you write that they should be 4xAA enerloops. I assume it's AA to provide enough voltage, but is that the case?

Also is it specifically four of them to power both the printer and the RPI?

There's also a line running from what looks like 3v3 power to the other positive rail on the breadboard. Is this correct, and why?

Thanks!

README.md says that Python 3 is not supported because there is no Python 3 wheel available for pi but I was unable to find "pi" in the Dockerfile or any of the requirements.txt files.

1. Where is "pi" installed?
2. Is "pi" https://pypi.org/project/pi or is it some other package?

https://picamera.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.6/faq.html#out-of-memory-when-initializing-the-camera

i have a four pin button but on the diagram it says 2 pin so how do i connect the button up?

Current build uses "serial:/dev/ttyS0" in the startup script, the recent raspberry pi's expect you to use "/dev/serial0", which is an alias provided to either /dev/ttyAMA0 or /dev/ttyS0, depending on your exact raspbian OS version. Updating the scripts to /dev/serial0 will provide greater compatibility.

first off thanks for this project - it's awesome!

I'm able to take pics using the gpio button press - and then I can print the cartoonified images fine using lp from command line using the format from workflow.py (lp -o landscape -c cartoonX.png) but for some reason they aren't being printed on the gpio button press

i'm new to python - where's a good place to start looking for the problem?

thanks again!

resolved.

Awesome project, I want to take this one step further and wanted to know if you had some insight on how to have the program also show the object_detection file. By this, I mean displaying a picture of the image given, with the boxes around it showing what the program thought an object was which would lead to the drawing. I figure the program does this, so I feel it should be fairly simple to just pull that step out so it can show the image given with the detected parts.

Thanks for the help, what I'm looking for it to display is something like the image below

Hi!
This project sounds awesome!
But so far it's kinda hard to know what it does on an input image and what does the result look like.
Could you try to include some examples please? Like two or three input/output examples?
Thanks.

hi, great project, thanks for sharing.

i 've run my "cartoonify" on pi, but some questions:

a) how does it work to auto-print the new png file on thermoprinter? which file to edit?
b) how to quit the script? kill the pid?

thx.

Installed on mac using $ pip install --user and trying to run with $ cartoonify, getting this error: ImportError: cannot import name run. Installed module run using $ pip install run --user

As because when I try to , I get
Cannot uninstall 'cartoonify'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

EDIT: I'm an idiot... don't need to go through all the manual processes for RaspberryPi, just skip down to the RPi instructions.

I haven't fully dug into it, but spent a little time a night or two ago and on the pip install -r requirements_desktop.txt, it starts to process but fails on TensorFlow 1.4. It seems to be indicating that 1.4 isn't available anymore. The nearest versions mentioned are 1.1 and 1.8. If I change it to 1.8 and try again, I get an out of memory error (sorry, at work right now, will get the exact message later, this is on a Raspberry Pi 3) and if I try 1.1, it fails on something else further down requirements_desktop.txt.

I'm sure I can figure it out, eventually, but thought I'd check and see if there's something dumb I'm missing or just don't know about like why TensorFlow 1.4 isn't being found.

Great project, though. I look forward to getting it running and having some fun at our makerspace demo days. Thanks!
