The code has been simplified, now everything is contained in one single python script now named app.js (remember to update the file rc.local in /etc with the new app name to run at startup).
New Hardware setup:
- I created a proto board with a push button and LED. The upload sequence is now initiated via a button press. The LED will blink when in idle mode and will remain solid during the upload process. The LED and button are wired in with a 1k and 10k resistor.
Major test completed 2/13/17: 120 photos upload completed! - Average upload speed per photo: 15 sec.
Next Steps:
- Create an enclosure to take this out for some field testing (hiking this weekend..)
- The enclosure needs to have some sort of cooling, most likely a small fan because the linkit does get pretty hot. May also consider a small heat sink.
- I am planning on keep the power external and using my mobile lipo battery powering over USB. Simple and works well.
