Using Raspberry Pi and PTP to Control a 360° Camera
4

You can use PTP commands to control a 360° Camera from your Raspberry Pi.

PTP stands for Picture Transfer Protocol. PTP is a platform- and transport- independent standard for communicating with digital photography devices, such as digital cameras. PTP defines a set of standard operations, responses, events, device properties, and required behaviors that control the creation and transfer of objects, such as digital images and other digital media files.

In this video, you will see how to take a picture, download those pictures and how to delete pictures from a RICOH THETA 360° Camera. You'll use a USB cable to connect. And you will send the commands using the RICOH THETA USB API and bash scripts.

Have fun!
