Raspberry pi 3 CSI camera with motion /dev/video0

There are a number of topics on the web, about getting a modified version of motion (motion-mmcal) to work with raspberry pi v2.1 CSI camera.

A simpler method is to expose the camera interface through the standard video 4 linux kernel interface /dev/video0.

This can be achieved by simply enabling the video 4 linux kernel module and installing the standard motion.

Install motion

apt-get install motion

Enable the kernel module on boot

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

i2c-dev
cuse
bcm2835-v4l2

Load the module without reboot

modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

Start service as normal

systemctl enable motion
systemctl start motion

Raspberry pi 3 disable red and green lights

Disabling the lights on raspberry pi has been documented a number of times on the web.
If differs from model to model, however the following method just sets the brightness to zero and should work on all models.

Modify your /etc/rc.local too like the following

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led1/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness

exit 0

Seedbox autoupload to google drive with rclone

If you are an avid seedbox user, here is another option for automatic uploads to google drive.
There are many ways of achieving this, including a cronjob.
I like this option, as it only runs rclone when a torrent completes.

Using inotifywait to watch for file system events, we look out for primarily the \u2018move\u2019 event.
When your torrent completes, it moves the completed torrent into the completed folder.
When this event takes place, when then execute rcopy.sh

Setup rclone and scripts

mkdir ~/bin
cd ~/bin
wget https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-v1.38-linux-amd64.zip
unzup rclone-v1.38-linux-amd64.zip
mv rclone*/* .

rscreen.sh

#!/bin/bash -x

ScSess=$(screen -ls)

if [[ $ScSess == *"No Sockets found"* ]]; then
  killall -9 rclone
  rm -rf ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock
  screen -dmS rwait ~/bin/rwait.sh 
else
  exit
fi

rwait.sh

#!/bin/bash -x

COMPLETED_TORRENTS=~/private/deluge/completed/

while true; do
  inotifywait -r -e modify,attrib,move,close_write,create,delete,delete_self $COMPLETED_TORRENTS
  ~/bin/rcopy.sh
done

rcopy.sh

#!/bin/bash -x
#!/bin/bash -x

COMPLETED_TORRENTS=~/private/deluge/completed/

if [ -f "~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock" ]; then
  exit
else
  touch ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock
  ~/bin/rclone --config=~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --verbose --transfers=8 copy "$COMPLETED_TORRENTS" "google:/unsorted/"
  rm -f ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock
fi

Permissions and PATH

Once you have setup the 3 scripts, make them executable

Permissions

chmod +x ~/bin/*

If ~/bin is not in your path, then add it and reload your shell

Edit Path

echo "PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Finally you run the main script in a cronjob

Finalize and run in the background

Screen session

*/1 * * * * /media/sdf1/feeditout/bin/rscreen.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
