take_picture
About
This is a simple script that demonstrates how to connect several USB
gPhoto compatable camera devices
and control them regardless of where on the USB bus they can be found.
Usage
Usage should be self explanatory. Pass take_picture the camera you
wish to use and the filename you wish to save to. You will need to
configure the script. You will need a list of serial numbers, they can
be obtained with:
gphoto2 --auto-detect
gphoto2 --get-config /main/status/serialnumber
Enter these into the take_picture code, for example:
my %camera_serial = ("00000000000000000000000006073055", "top",
"00000000000000000000000006092844", "left",
"00000000000000000000000006033842", "side");
Assigns the name "top" to the camera with the serial number ending in 6073055,
left to the camera ending in 6092844. You of course need to replace these with
the full serial number from gPhoto and the name you wish to assign, no limit
is made on the number of devices you can control in this way.
