PI Critter Cam Day 3: Correcting IP and Screenshots.

We left off from last time trying to get the PI to connect to the internet.

Obviously, I also figured out screenshots.  You use Scrot, which comes out of the box with Raspian.  It takes some getting used to, but has lots of features, which you can see with it's help (scrot -h).

Here's what I used to get the active window with a 10 second delay (scrot -d10 -u).

So, now that we're off that tangent, we can start with the camera again.  Next, we'll work on seeing if we can get the camera to respond to commands through Python...

----------   UPDATE   --------------

I was still having trouble, until I saw the PI had no default gateway.  I was wondering where that was supposed to go!

Anyway, I found via stackexchange how to add it.  Here's a screenshot:
