gopro-ble-py

Python Bluetooth controller for GoPro cameras starting from the HERO5 Black (successfully tested with the HERO5 Black, HERO6 Black, HERO7 Black, MAX)

How to run:

Enable WiFi on the GoPro and go to connect > connect new > GoPro APP

Then connect to the WiFi AP created by the GoPro

Make sure you have administrator priviledges so you can send commands from your BT module:

sudo python main.py

Then enter the commands.

>> record start
[recv] ...

Commands available:

• record start
• record stop
• mode video
• mode photo
• mode multishot
• poweroff
• tag
• wifi off
• wifi on
• set (will prompt you to enter settings)
• exit (disconnect && exit)

Settings are parsed as constant strings from my library gopro-py-api. Such as: Video.RESOLUTION Video.Resolution.R4k

Scripting possiblilities:

See start_timelapse.py on an example on how to write a script to control a camera programatically.
