Nevermind, I think I got it. I changed GPIO.RISING to GPIO.FALLING and now it functions exactly as I need it to. Is this an acceptable way to accomplish it? EDIT: Now I have one problem left. Whenever I turn anything on or off on the same circuit as the relay, I inadvertently trigger the "camera on"...

That worked! Thank you so much. One more question. How would I then have it flash the LED one more time when I let go of the push button. To explain my project, I'm trying to get my camera to record when I say "Alexa turn the camera on." That turns on relay number 3 which connects 3.3v to GPIO 23. T...

Hello, I'm trying to make a relay flash on and off one time when triggered by GPIO 23. I'm a beginner so I followed a tutorial to make an LED flash with a button press, but I can't figure out how to make it stop instead of looping over and over. Here's the code I have so far. #!/usr/bin/env python i...

I'm in way over my head, but I've been able piece together almost exactly what I'm looking for, with one exception. The project: I make YouTube videos in my workshop. When I want to record I have to turn off the music, turn off the fans and dust collection, then press record. I want to have an echo ...

Hello! I'm brand new to Raspberry Pi and thanks to tutorials and these forums, I've managed to get my Pi to take a picture with a USB webcam when a light sensor goes off. Woot! The last thing I want it to be able to do is upload that photo to a website/server whenever it takes a new photo. It's a se...
