Here’s a video!

So half of the core functionality of the device is done! It’s a pretty simple solution to walk through all of the files in the directory. I actually might check if having sub-folders will mess the process up and it probably will, if that’s the case I’ll try and publish a fix for later tonight.

Anyway’s here’s the source:

#time setup
import time

#GPIO setup
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

in_left = 11
GPIO.setup(in_left, GPIO.IN)
in_right = 13
GPIO.setup(in_right, GPIO.IN)
button = 16
GPIO.setup(button, GPIO.IN)

flickr_LED = 3
GPIO.setup(flickr_LED, GPIO.OUT)
both_LED = 5
GPIO.setup(both_LED, GPIO.OUT)
hdd_LED = 7
GPIO.setup(hdd_LED, GPIO.OUT)
uploading_LED = 26
GPIO.setup(uploading_LED, GPIO.OUT)
ready_LED = 24
GPIO.setup(ready_LED, GPIO.OUT)
stat_LED = 22
GPIO.setup(stat_LED, GPIO.OUT)

#for the cp command
import os

#setup for datestamping folders

#Flickr Setup
import flickrapi
api_key =
api_secret =
flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key, api_secret, format='json')
(token, frob) = flickr.get_token_part_one(perms='write')
if not token: raw_input("Press ENTER after you authorized this program")
flickr.get_token_part_two((token, frob))

#these functions will be filled later, but right now it's just a simple led blink
def flickr_upload():
	print "Uploading Photos To Flickr"
	GPIO.output(uploading_LED, True)
	GPIO.output(ready_LED, False)

	print "Flickr Upload Completed"
	GPIO.output(uploading_LED, False)
	GPIO.output(ready_LED, True)

	os.system('mkdir ' + '/media/usb0/' + folder)
	print 'Folder Created: ' + folder

	for filename in os.listdir('/media/usb1'):
		GPIO.output(stat_LED, True)
		print 'Copying File: ' + filename
		GPIO.output(stat_LED, False)
		os.system('cp /media/usb1/' + filename + ' /media/usb0/' + folder + '/')

	print "HDD Upload Completed"
	GPIO.output(uploading_LED, False)
	GPIO.output(ready_LED, True)

def both_upload():
	print "Uploading Photos To Flickr and the HDD"
	GPIO.output(uploading_LED, True)
	GPIO.output(ready_LED, False)
	hdd_upload()
	flickr_upload()
	print "Double Upload Completed"
	GPIO.output(uploading_LED, False)
	GPIO.output(ready_LED, True)

while 1:

	GPIO.output(ready_LED, True)
	GPIO.output(uploading_LED, False)
	GPIO.output(stat_LED, False)

	if GPIO.input(in_left):
		#print "left"
		GPIO.output(flickr_LED, True)
		GPIO.output(both_LED, False)
		GPIO.output(hdd_LED, False)

	elif GPIO.input(in_right):
		#print "right"
		GPIO.output(flickr_LED, False)
		GPIO.output(both_LED, False)
		GPIO.output(hdd_LED, True)

	else:
		#print "mid"
		GPIO.output(flickr_LED, False)

	if GPIO.input(button):

EDIT: So the above code won’t walk through sub-folders on the SD card, here’s an updated source:
