Watch the sky (simple python ftp script)
14/11/2013
So you got the raspberry and the camera board.
With a cronjob you can let it take pictures every few seconds or hour and do something with it. Might be a timelaps video or send it to twitter. In this case I added a simple script to the “RasBotPi” so it can send a picture every hour to this website.
The “RasBotPi”
a Simple script will capture a jpg and then send it to this website with python and its ftp library.

import ftplib # Ftp the image to other website sftp = ftplib.FTP('webserver.com','username','password') # Connect to server fp = open('/home/username/projects/webcam/webcam.jpg','rb') # file to send to server sftp.storbinary('STOR /httpdocs/webcam.jpg', fp) # SStore the file on the server fp.close() # Close sftp.quit() |
Here an example of the snapshot that the camera board takes..

Show album art in Conky with python script.
05/09/2010
I wanted to show some Album art in conky.
Ofcourse i didnt need to re-invent the wheel so I stumbled upon this forum topic:
Crunchbanglinux::forums::images-in-conky-specifically-rhythmbox-album-art
iggykoopa created a nice script (see here) but because I like the dark feeling of #! I wanted to have the album art in greyscale.
I took his base from: http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/29 and added this part to it: (and an option so you can start it with “conkymusic.py -g”.)

def grey: image = Image.openhome + "/.album" image = image.convert'L' image.savehome + "/.album", "png" |
You can grab the whole code here: Python CrunchBang Linux Pastebin.
The code in conky:

${execi 10 /home/pieter/.conky/conkymusic.py -g -s 75x75} ${image /home/pieter/.album -p 170,10 -s 75x75} |
Works great here.
