Time-lapse Raspberry Pi

[Matt Desmarais]

I made a timelapse camera out of a raspberry pi. Every hour it uploads the capture files to a google drive account using grive

The camera/timelapse software is motion. The camera is a $30 usb webcam from radioshack.

If you want to make your own follow these instructions.

1. Install motion (easy) http://techspect.co.uk/index.php?id=how-to-raspberry-pi-webcam-server-stream

2. Install grive (medium) http://www.stuffaboutcode.com/2013/03/raspberry-pi-google-drive-grive.html

Before you compile and make grive you need to edit 5 lines of code in State.cc https://github.com/Grive/grive/issues/168

(optional - medium) startup script to email you ip address. http://elinux.org/RPi_Email_IP_On_Boot_Debian

There are many options to make your pi accessible from the web such as, http://dyn.com/dns/, http://www.noip.com/, and my personal favorite https://yaler.net/help

Going to be starting new projects soon because I just got my order of 3 raspberry pis!
