I'm using an IR camera made for the RPi, alongside a pyroelectric motion sensor hooked into the GPIO. When the sensor is triggered, the camera takes a picture and emails it to me with a timestamp. I wrote the script to do this all in Python. My next steps are hooking it up to a stepper so that it can do motion tracking as well.
If you really want to do this, there are tons of guides online. My solution is really hacky because it was one of the first programming things I did entirely on my own.

Thanks mate, I'll look into it. I know zero programming so hopefully someone did all of that.
Could I set it to do it at a certain time? Like whenever I am not home.
I also want to set up a motion sensor camera outside my window but the Pi camera is not so good for that.

>>60518254
You'll have no problem finding some premade code, most likely written in Python. Python's syntax is very easy to read and learn, so I think you won't have much of a problem adding in a timer. It shouldn't take more than a couple lines.
Another, possibly simpler, method to have the script run at set times would be setting up a cron job. It's a pretty easy utility to get up and running. It's essentially a task scheduler.

I think the Pi camera would handle working outside just fine. You can buy some water resistant housings, and there are even lens adapters for it. Of course, you could also just get a USB webcam that does the same thing.

Best of luck!

>>60515733
How did you achieve that bash prompt design?

>>60520875
Why are you repeatedly unplugging the micro USB port and the SD card on a server? The slow NIC also isn't going to be a problem if you're not trying to stream 8k taiwanese cave paintings from it. USB 2.0 isn't too majorly slow, I have mine booting off of an SSD through it and it performs like an average HDD.
It's good for a 35$ server that consumes below 10w.

>>60520955
Don't have the repeatedly unplug those things for them to fail. An SSD that performs like a HDD doesn't sound good at all. Not even for something you paid 35 dollars for. I rather get something much nicer for 99-150 dollars brand new.

The alternatives to the RPI that sits around the same price range is probably better value too.

It seems like people get them thinking they're going to be like Woz, but end up giving them paperweight tasks like "server" and "htpc" instead. It is a nice tool for learning and projects, and for that, it doesn't matter that it uses fragile usb ports and sd cards, or have stuff like the NIC and external drives going through USB.

Have fun with the gpio header.

I would say the only time I have issues with that is over wifi. Doing it over ethernet has no issues. Even the Pi 1 can play 1080p. Unless your 1080p rips are retarded high bitrate (ie diminishing returns videophile garbage) like 75mbps, you shouldn't have problems

Could you recommend some alternatives?

>>60525328
Yeah I'm not sure how you'd get around it besides picking up a $20 DD-WRT compatible router and just using it as a wifi to ethernet bridge. The issue I have is that it stutters really bad because the CPU can't keep up with USB wifi adapters and 1080p playback at the same time. I'm not really sure what causes it as I can play stuff over USB flashdrives/HDDs just fine and IIRC the ethernet chip is shared on the USB bus as well, so why it's an issue I have no idea.

Seeing how apcupsd is a Linux program, the UPS connects via USB and LAN connectivity is required both for core functionality and web monitoring, not really. Even if you can do it with an Arduino it would be slower, more difficult to set up, would have less features and would most likely end up more expensive by the time you're done buying all the shields/extra hardware to set up an Ethernet connection and have a USB host port, both of which a barebones Arduino lacks.

recently made an interface to SNES controller that would send simulated button presses to the SNES. hooked this up to an MQTT hub that listened for known SNES key presses from the messenger and relayed them to the controller. I made a bot that sits in the twitch irc, parses for SNES button presses {A,B,X,Y,L,R,START,SELECT,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT} and then fired them off to the MQTT messenger.

that way people could type into twitch, and do a twitch-plays-pokemon thing, but on a real SNES, and I could change out all the games I wanted. Most people seemed to like playing FF a lot just because the play style was suited for non-combo button presses.

I need some help with getting cloud into raspberry pi 2
We're doing a group project in uni, and of course, today is the last day and we've basically started just today(it's already 5 past midnight) and what's left for our plans is to make photos or videos to transfer to some cloud(we put them in a folder, they automatically sync and possibly get deleted from pi itself, but not necessarily )
Now Google Drive isn't officially supported and the one guide we found talking about grive is outdated and some links are dead. any recommendations what's the easiest way to do what we want ? Is Nimbus any good ?

I hope you fail.

Currently waiting RPi3 to arrive for https://info-beamer.com/ setup.

Yeah seriously, this is the fucking best for rpi security cams. If you want to get advanced you can include your own scripts but it just werks.

dropbox, or roll your own cloud with something like sparkleshare

N64 runs like shit. Might as well not even bother.

Do I need to mess with it or is it automatic?

Use one for OSMC which has a script to boot into retropie and back, the other shall be a cloud server but I'm too dumb to set it up yet.

Thought I can use one as a mini Notebooks for nonsens stuff but I rather kill myself than using 3,5-5" displays any further
