Code for my Taking photos with raspberry pi + socket.io tutorial.
This code makes it possible to stream photos taken on a raspberry pi in regular intervals to a remote server, using nodejs, socket-io and data-uris. For more information about this repository and implementation details, please refer to the aforementioned tutorial and feel free to raise issues, or contact me via e-mail.
If you want to use this code, and have nodejs set up on your raspberry pi, simply place the client.html somewhere on your pc and ssh into your pi. Next, clone this repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/irisSchaffer/rpi-socket-streaming.git
Now change into the newly created directory and install all dependencies:
$ cd rpi-socket-streaming/
$ npm install
You might have to change line 2 and 3 of the application's configuration config.json and replace the ip-address restriction and the port socket-io is connecting over by the ones you want to use:
"port": [app port], // e.g. 9999
"client-host": "[your pc's ip]", // e.g. 192.168.0.*
Don't forget to also change the socket connection in client.html (line 54 and 56) accordingly:
<script src="http://[pi's ip]:[app port]/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
var socket = io.connect('http://[pi's ip]:[app port]');
To start the application, you can now run node index.js on the raspberry pi, open client.html locally in your browser and click the Start Stream button.
Happy Streaming!
