RICOH THETA m15 Remote for the WiPy

Use a WiPy to connect to a RICOH THETA camera and trigger the shutter remotely.

As I'm using the Expansion Board, the shutter button is connected to GP17 and pulling the pin low. A LED is connected to GP16.

Preparation

Copy the config.example.py to config.py and adjust the constants to your home wifi network.

If you want to try the script from a desktop computer, install all needed dependencies with:

micropython -m upip install -r requirements.txt

Connecting to the THETA

When you switch on WiFi on your THETA, it creates a network called THETA followed by its serial number, e.g. THETAXN20123456. The numeric part of the serial number is the password. (Only if you didn't change it in the THETA app.)
