So to all out there who download Python and ffmpeg and still have problems:ġ. I did find though that it kept losing contact with the printer but this is probably the way I'm connecting over a busy network. The program will wait for your UM3 to start printing then you will see it writing the capture number in the terminal window. 20 is the delay between images in seconds then 'sample.mp4' is the name of the file saved when the print is finished In the above example, 10.100.192.122 is the IP address of your UM3 Printer. You then type python3.6 um3api.py and allow that to run
Time lapse tool exe install#
To install the requests module, type python3.6 -m pip install requests You have to clearly define you want to use python 3.6 in your commands, thus:
Time lapse tool exe zip file#
Once the window opens, change to your downloads folder using cd Downloads then to the folder the zip file extracts to, um3timelapse-master using cd um3timelapse-master. You are now in the folder you need to work in.If you forget the name, just type ls as a terminal command to list the files in that folderįrom here, you can run the python scripts directly but you MUST remember that OS-X comes with Python 2.7 and if you just try and run it in this, it won't work. I installed Python 3.6.4 then I downloaded the time-lapse project files then opened a Terminal session on my iMac. I'm new to this too but this is how I managed to get it running. Problem is solved! I try to post how as probably som others want to know how and what the problem was about. I am out of ideas maybe to can help me in some way. Probably I am missing out something really simple or probably I have to modify the script. "timelapse.py 192.168.1.3 10 Daniel.mp4" (more ore less what you asked for in the beginning of the threat.Īnyhow. I even tried to start it using your prompt from the Total Commander and CMD, but that had the same effect like trying to start the ffmpg-File. (I added a foto for you to see what the programm would say.) Trying to start it from there would bring me the same result as trying to start ffmpg.exeĪfter looking at the IDLE-Programm I found out that I could also run the script from there but I would give me the following message:"no module named ´requests´". Then I tried to execute the ffmpeg.exe but it opened ony a tiny window for a 10*10^-4th of a second. Anyhow, I Installed Python and got the ffmpec codec like it was said. I tried to copy the files to the Cura folder in order for Python to find the "request"-module over there but there IDLE would not even open the file (don´t know why). But this is only possible in the folder I downloaded it to. I tried your timelapse script but probably I am forgetting something.įirst of all if I open the script with th editor "IDLE".
