Pi Pics
Not an especially enthralling project tonight. I wanted to connect my camera to the Raspberry Pi. Thanks to a program called gphoto2 I could. In theory this would let you do all kinds of things like adjust the settings of the camera and take photos on command from the Pi. Unfortunately it did none of these things! All I could do was download all the pictures, which is a fine thing to do but not terribly exciting.
Commands used today:
sudo apt-get install gphoto2
(Gets and installs gphoto2. You need to add "sudo" so you can do it as a SuperUser, because ordinary users can't install jack all).
sudo raspi-config
(Used this to change the Boot from the Desktop Terminal to the Terminal Screen, i.e. the one you type stuff in on).
Equipment involved:
The all-photo-taking, all-SD-card-writing Fujifilm FinePix S2950, which is immune from Pi hacking.
Next to try: Sonic Pi!
