To automatically connect to GoPro device via BLE and WiFI, set the preset, set video parameters, take a video, and download all files:
import time
from open_gopro import GoPro
with GoPro() as gopro:
gopro.ble_command.load_preset(gopro.params.Preset.CINEMATIC)
gopro.ble_setting.resolution.set(gopro.params.Resolution.RES_4K)
gopro.ble_setting.fps.set(gopro.params.FPS.FPS_30)
gopro.ble_command.set_shutter(gopro.params.Shutter.ON)
time.sleep(2) # Record for 2 seconds
gopro.ble_command.set_shutter(gopro.params.Shutter.OFF)
# Download all of the files from the camera
media_list = [x["n"] for x in gopro.wifi_command.get_media_list()["media"][0]["fs"]]
for file in media_list:
gopro.wifi_command.download_file(camera_file=file)
And much more!
Demos
Note! These demos can be found on Github
Demos can be found in the installed package in the "demos" folder. They are installed as a CLI entrypoint and can be run via:
$ gopro-photo
$ gopro-video
$ gopro-stream
$ gopro-log-battery
$ gopro-log-battery
For more information on each, try running with help as such:
$ gopro-photo --help
