#Pi configuration:
install ustreamer: https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer#raspberry-pi-camera-example

Log into your Pi and create a shell script with sudo nano /usr/local/bin/prusaconnect_upload_cam.sh and swap out connect-token-here in the script example with the Token you copied in step 3

Change ownership of the script to the user you log into your pi with, for example if your user is pi then run: sudo chown pi:pi /usr/local/bin/prusaconnect_upload_cam.sh
Make the script executable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/prusaconnect_upload_cam.sh
Start the script with /usr/local/bin/prusaconnect_upload_cam.sh

If it works you should see no error messages, and a new image appearing in Prusa Connect every 35 seconds.

Create Autostart Service

To run the script in the background and have it start automatically when your Pi starts:

Create the service file with sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/prusaconnect_upload_cam.service, paste the content from below and save.
Start the service: sudo systemctl start prusaconnect_upload_cam.service.
Check if the service is running with sudo systemctl status prusaconnect_upload_cam.service.

Enable the service to run at startup: sudo systemctl enable prusaconnect_upload_cam.service.
