New RaspiCamera Project help

[geotek]

I have a new RaspiCamera and need some help!
I would like to take periodic still frame pictures and store on Raspberry PI? How can I do this?
in the future,I would also like to be able to detect motion and start camera recording - can I do this? What software is needed and how can I implement this feature?
Thanks
Tom

For that part I can help you out. Just finished a timelapse script in python.

Just run it with python Timelapse

Well, the raspistill app has a timelapse mode so that's OK for that.

This command will run for a while (9999999ms) and take a picture every 5000ms

raspistill -o image%d.jpg -t 9999999 -tl 5000

As for motion detection, search the forum for 'Motion' which some have got working.
