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

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.

Hardware Suggested in Thread

• Raspberry Pi Zero W (low power, small, Wifi built in)

  • Amazon
  • Adafruit

• USB A to USB Micro (for power and optionally connecting to Pi Zero over USB to configure)

  • Adafruit
  • Or similar from Amazon

• USB Splitter if you don't want to lose a front USB port

  • Still some debate here on the best/working splitters

Short Instructions for connecting to Raspberry Pi Zero W (or similar) over USB (no HDMI needed)

• Gist showing example steps

TODO/Asks

• Script to make this easy to get going. Ideally supports multiple targets (see further TODO/Asks)
• Copy to AWS S3 / Google Drive / Etc
• Copy to SSH/SFTP
• Official license?
