Steps and scripts for turning a Raspberry Pi into a useful USB drive for a Tesla. The original intent is to auto-copy Dashcam files to a Windows (SMB/CIFS compatible) share.
|
|
|
|
This repo contains scripts originally from [this thread on Reddit]( https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/9m9gyk/build_a_smart_usb_drive_for_your_tesla_dash_cam/)
|
|
|
|
Many people in that thread suggested that the scripts be hosted on Github but the author didn't seem interested in making that happen.
|
|
|
|
I've hosted the scripts here with his/her permission.
