Meshblu Connector for the Raspberry Pi Camera for use in Octoblu and other services.

This is a Meshblu Connector for the Raspberry Pi Camera, it uses node-raspicam (https://github.com/troyth/node-raspicam) which is
a node wrapper for raspistill - the default software for taking images on the RPi Camera.

For more information about Octoblu visit http://www.octoblu.com and connect all the things!

meshblu-raspicam sends a JPG image or a Base64 encoded message (for use with Twitter) to your Octoblu flow!
This connector is still under testing so expect bugs.

Whilst node-raspicam outputs all the things, this meshblu connector only outputs a single JPG image at the moment, but can be
easily modified to output all the image formats and video. The connector is a script you need to run on your RPi, it is not a gateblu pluggin (at the moment!).

Pre-Reqs:

1. Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Camera ;-)
2. Configured Raspberry Pi for Octoblu - the simplest thing to do is configure your RPi as a Gateblu (https://gateblu.readme.io/docs/raspberry-pi)

Usage:

1. Git Clone this repo to your RPi
2. npm install meshblu-raspicam
3. Create a Generic Device, grab the UUID and Token and add to meshblu.json
4. From the meshblu-raspicam directory, do: npm start
5. meshblu-raspicam will then connect to Octoblu.
6. Create your flow, add in your new connector
7. Take photos!

Options

The vast majority of the options provided with node-raspicam are included. You can configure these from within your flow.
There are lots of options and image effects you can apply to your image.
For a break down of the options, this document is useful: https://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RaspiCam-Documentation.pdf

1. gem install travis
1. travis login

#### Travis (S3)

For use if you need to push your browserified version

1. travis encrypt [S3_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET]
1. add the generated key to the .travis.yml file under secret_access_key in the s3 deploy section.
1. also add the s3 access_key_id to the same section

End result should look like this:

``yml
deploy:
- provider: s3
access_key_id: [S3_ACCESS_KEY]
secret_access_key:
secure: [S3_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET]
bucket: [UPLOAD_BUCKET] # octoblu-cdn
region: us-west-2
skip_cleanup: true
detect_encoding: true
local-dir: deploy
upload-dir: [UPLOAD_FOLDER] # js
on:
tags: true
all_branches: true
node: '0.10'
`

#### Travis (NPM Deploy)[http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/npm/]

1. travis encrypt [NPM_ACCESS_KEY] - this key is found in ~/.npmrc
1. add the generated key to the .travis.yml file under api_key in the npm deploy section.
1. also add the npm email to the same section

End result should look like this:

`yml
deploy:
- provider: npm
skip_cleanup: true
clean_up: false
email: [NPM_EMAIL]
api_key:
secure: [NPM_ACCESS_KEY]
on:
tags: true
all_branches: true
node: '0.11'
`

#### Gateblu Installation

Use (gateblu)[https://gateblu.octoblu.com/] to run this as a device.

#### Manual Installation

1. npm install meshblu-util -g
1. npm install meshblu-raspicam or git clone [GIT_URL]
1. go into connector folder
1. meshblu-util register -t device:meshblu-raspicam > meshblu.json
1. meshblu-util claim
1. npm start or to start with debug DEBUG='meshblu-raspicam*' npm start`

$3

Edit the package.json to change the platformDependencies. This will show up when installing the connector in Octoblu and Gateblu.
