Anyone knows about a good (open source) remote app to remotley take pictures with your phone, by controlling it with your Pebble.
The all seems to be out of date. And I sort of expect this to be a core feature to be officialy supported. Hope it will be.
this is something I was recently contemplating while trying to take a closeup with shaky hands. It doesn’t look like pebblekitjs can handle this, so it will be necessary to create a native mobile app. Docs exist for what needs to be done on the Android side https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camerax/take-photo
If I have some free time later, I’ll try taking a crack at it. No guarantees, Java isn’t my thing.
Edit: do you have a link to an outdated OpenSource solution? It will probably be easier to upgrade that code than to start from scratch.
I’ve never done a pebble app and have no idea if this would be possible but hear me out.
You can get cheap Bluetooth camera shooters that all they do is to trigger a volume up (or is it down?) key press, and most camera apps on iOS recognize this gesture, and I’m sure Android works the same way.
I wonder if this could be achieved by making a small pebble app that all it does is to trigger this same gesture.
The way I was working on this, was to create an picture taking app (not the default camera app), When the app is opened on the phone, it will open the ‘remote control’ on the watch.
