# GIF Video Recording Example # # Note: You will need an SD card to run this example. # # You can use your OpenMV Cam to record gif files. You can either feed the # recorder object RGB565 frames or Grayscale frames. Use photo editing software # like GIMP to compress and optimize the Gif before uploading it to the web. import sensor import time import gif import machine sensor.reset() # Reset and initialize the sensor. sensor.set_pixformat(sensor.RGB565) # Set pixel format to RGB565 (or GRAYSCALE) sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QQVGA) # Set frame size to QQVGA (160x120) sensor.skip_frames(time=2000) # Wait for settings take effect. led = machine.LED("LED_RED") led.on() g = gif.Gif("example.gif", loop=True) clock = time.clock() # Create a clock object to track the FPS. for i in range(100): clock.tick() # clock.avg() returns the milliseconds between frames - gif delay is in g.add_frame(sensor.snapshot(), delay=int(clock.avg() / 10)) # centiseconds. print(clock.fps()) g.close() led.off() raise (Exception("Please reset the camera to see the new file."))
