Now, we need to get the capture software installed on the Pi.
First, copy the
recorder
folder onto the Pi using FileZilla and SFTP.We need to install some packages and Python libraries that are used by the capture application. To do this, first install the Python setup tools that I have used to package the capture application:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools git
Next, run the following commands to download and install the
pexif
library, which is used to save the GPS position from which each image was taken into the image EXIF data:git clone https://github.com/bennoleslie/pexif.git pexif cd pexif sudo python setup.py install
Once this is done, SSH into the Pi can change directory to the
recorder
folder and run the following command:sudo python setup.py install
Now that the application is installed, we can take a look at the list of commands it accepts using:
gpstimelapse -h
This shows the list of commands, as shown in the following screenshot:
