Create time-lapse pictures with golang on Raspberry PI

This code will take a snapshot with raspistill and upload it to dropbox.

You will need a config file with some parameters:

package main

const (
		clientid = "..."
		clientsecret = "..."
		token = "..."
)

Those parameters are given by dropbox when you register an app.

Then you can run this with

go run config.go upload.go

Install go on Raspberry PI

1. Download the latest version from [http://dave.cheney.net/unofficial-arm-tarballs] with wget

2. Move that file to /usr/local (use sudo mv)

3. Untar it with sudo tar -xzf

4. Create the file /etc/profile.d/go.sh and put the following lines in it:

   export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH export GOPATH="$HOME/your-workspace-dir/"
