USB cord
Linux computer with gphoto2
Python

1) Open 3 terminals in project directory
2) Terminal 1, Server: python dslr-server.py 5555 $(hostname) /path/to/download/pic/
3) Terminal 2, Camera Client: python camera.py 5555 $(hostname) dslr (or change dslr to webcam or picam)
4) Terminal 3, Controller Client (using Idle): python
Load Module: import controller
Take Picture: reload(controller); controller.sendCommand("ctr cap")
Change f-stop: reload(controller); controller.sendCommand("ctr apt 4")
Change ISO: reload(controller); controller.sendCommand("ctr iso 1600")
