Introduction
We outline steps to set up OctoLapse in three different ways:
- using a simple webcam
- using an external DSLR with the raspberry pi rendering the timelapse, and
- saving the images to the SD card and rendering the timelapse ourselves.
Video Overview
-
-
Use the IP scanner to identify the IP address for the hub and copy it.
-
Run Putty and enter the IP address for the hub, and then connect to it. You may receive a warning after doing this, please proceed.
-
Enter 'pi' after 'login as' (without the quotes)
-
Enter the hub's serial number as the password in the following format: xxxx-ch (where xxxx are the four alphanumerical digits for the serial code). If logged in successfully, you should see pi@xxxx-ch-canvas-hub on the command line
-
Enter the following command:sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev
-
Enter this command after the first is complete:pip install --upgrade pip.
-
Once pip is upgraded, please enter: pip install pillow
-
After pillow is installed, restart OctoPrint and return to the CANVAS Hub page to install OctoLapse.
