Theta Control

Theta Control is a Javascript script written to control Ricoh Theta S directly with a npm console.

Why Theta Control?

Because sometimes you just want to control a Ricoh Theta out of the box. Because we like to hack stuff. Both reasons are equally valid, actually.

Install:

Theta Control uses ThetaSOscClient, fs, EventEmitter and readline. To properly configure the script, please create a folder in your computer to locate the script and its dependencies and then install the script with:

npm install --save theta-control

Dependencies:

Once installed the script please run:

npm install

to install the dependencies.

Usage:

From the command prompt (Windows) or from Terminal (Osx) navigate into the script folder. Theta Control uses just one command to run the script:

npm run theta

The image will be saved outside the script folder in a newly created "output" folder.

Features:

• You can choose how many pictures you do want to make per each command (asked from the console prompt)
• HDR or Normal.
• Automatic saving of the images on your computer (automatic file transfer).
• Automatic image naming.
• Parametrization of options.
• Destination folder choice.

Coming Soon:

• Before-transfer compression to save time.
