I tried to ceate a Raspberry Pi as a standalone Photo catching device for multile EyeFi Cards.
Turns out that is not possible at the moment using EyeFi Mobi cards.
That is what I tried:
Hardware:
Software:
– Raspian install
– https://github.com/dgrant/eyefiserver2/
Installation:
– git clone the eyefiserver2
– follow https://github.com/dgrant/eyefiserver2/wiki/Getting-Started
Starting
Start the script
sudo eyefiserver.py start /etc/eyefiserver.conf /var/log/eyefiserver.log
Check
[03/26/16 01:32PM][runEyeFi] - Eye-Fi server started listening on port 59278
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:59278 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 873/python
Seems okay
Upload Key
The first issue was the upload key.
Connected two different eyefi cards with OSX and Windows 7 and was unable to find an upload key other then 00000000000000000000000000000000
On OSX:
/Users/$USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Eyefi/Eyefi Mobi/
But there is a SQL database in:
And you can do the following:
sqlite3 offline.db SQLite version Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> SELECT o_mac_address, o_upload_key FROM o_devices; 00-11-11-11-11-11|12345678901234567890123456789012
Hm but still, using that upload key (was reducted) the eyefiserver2 did not work.
And I was unable to get a connection from my camera to my pi.
There is an issue reported in github:
https://github.com/dgrant/eyefiserver2/issues/9
That referenced the following Whitepaper:
https://www.os3.nl/_media/2013-2014/courses/ot/connor_stavros.pdf
So at the moment the problem has not been solved,an workaround would be using an Mac / Windows System, or to upgrade to the larger EyeFi Version:
Feel free to comment your solutions below.
