Thank you for putting up such a great tutorial on the Raspberry Pi touchscreen camera. I ordered a few things from your website and am really looking forward to getting this up and running!!!
I elected to use the pre-loaded raspian distribution for the TFT screen created by adafruit as referenced in the tutorial.
I used the directions for setting up dropbox on the pi from http://raspi.tv/2013/how-to-use-dropbox ... spberry-pi as directed in the tutorial on the adafruit website.
If I work from within the console I can upload files from within the Dropbox-Uploader directory using the synax:
Code: Select all
./dropbox_uploader.sh upload home/pi/Photos/IMG_0001.JPG TESTIMG.JPG
However, I get stuck when using the touchscreen camera program's dropbox function. When trying to take pictures and saving them to dropbox the camera program freezes while the adafruit symbol spins and I have to do a hard reset. If I instead choose to save them to only the Photos folder I'm able to take pictures ok.
I'm stumped. I've double checked my app settings in dropbox and even tried switching (unlinking the app with dropbox-uploader, deleting the app in dropbox and removing the Dropbox-Uploader directory to start fresh) to the "full option" with no luck. I've also played around with different versions of the script directly from the author, all of them working manually but not from the camera interface.
It's a long shot, but I noticed in the comments on the raspi.tv website said:
Code: Select all
./dropbox_uploader.sh upload home/pi/
Could it be possible the adafruit's cam.py script not updated to reflect this change? I see that this tutorial was originally published in January (but updated today). Just a shot in the dark.AndrewS says:

I’ve just had a look at this myself – looks like the syntax of the script has changed slightly (maybe Alex could add a note to the article above) and the ‘upload’ option now requires a destination filename in Dropbox. I.e. instead of:
./dropbox_uploader.sh upload /home/pi/myfile.jpg
you now need to do:
./dropbox_uploader.sh upload /home/pi/myfile.jpg myfile.jpg
Any help would be great, Thanks!!
