PrusaConnect Timelapse "Plugin" (Early-beta release!)  

Best Answer by Fortnite Gamer:

VERSION 0.2 IS OUT NOW!

Changelog:

• Added Security Feautres
• Added Auto-Creation of Dependent Folders
• Added Inputs so there is NO NEED TO EDIT CODE! HOORAY👌👌👌✔✔✔! 

New Usage AND FULL TUTORIAL:

Step 1:

Login to your Prusa connect account, and set it in a split screen on the left or right.

Next, navigate to your camera page, and ensure you are scrolled ALL THE WAY UP!

Step 2: Getting the X,Y Coords of your download button

In the future(V0.4), both of the scripts I will turn into a .exe, but for now it is manual:

Open Command Prompt, then cd into your python311 scripts folder, RUN:

pip install pyautogui

Then, in your shell, run:

import pyautogui

Then type:

pyautogui.displayMousePosition()

Hover over your download snapshot button, and note down the coords.

INPUT THEM INTO THE SCRIPT!

Step 3: Running the script

Now, for the last step, simply run the script, preferably try to run it right after the camera updates.

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE: If your camera settings are set to update every 30 seconds(Won't work as well for timelapse), set them to 10 or, update the interval variable.

Hope this helps everyone! Have a good day, and post any of your issues in the replies!
