I CoPilot vibe coded python script that uses a webcam, Pokémon cards, OpenCV to detect motion, take a picture, use Azure vision to read text, look for the card code and number, and output that to a usable file.

After getting the code and number of the card, it looks it up with https://tcgdex.dev/

Coded to get an index over all my scarlet & violet era bulk cards, used for playing. Only works on regulation mark G and higher.

I use this box from Clas Ohlson https://www.clasohlson.com/no/SmartStore-innsats-for-Home-og-Classic-4-og-14/p/44-5238-7

And a Trust 23637 Webcam on my M3 Mac

Demo of setup is found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TthLfjK-2t0

python3 cardscan.py Ctrl C or escape ends scanning Holding space takes a picture if motion is not detected

It outputs (appends) a json and a Excel spreadsheet

python3 cardcount.py takes the output json, count and sort it. Outputs to excel spreadsheet.

Uses python3 and pip3

Setup env: python3 -m venv /cardScan

Select env to use: source /cardScan/bin/activate

pip3 install azure-ai-vision-imageanalysis

pip3 install opencv-python

pip3 install playsound or if that does not work, install with: pip3 install playsound@git+https://github.com/taconi/playsound

To use playsound with python3 pip3 install PyObjC
