Main script is pan_and_tweet.py which will make the camera position itself
to take 7 consecutive images, panning to the right each time to make a
panorama.
It then concatenates all the images into a simple pano, and uploads that to
imgur, then tweets that imgur link.
ToDo: Make cam only upload images when it detects a change from last capture. Make cam progress through panning and taking the images faster. Make pano actually stitch together rather than just side by side images.
Done: Authenticate to cam Move and tilt Capture images and save to file Cat images together side by side Upload to imgur anonymously Make api keys, config and credentials load from environment variables. Make imgur link automatically tweet on Famduino acct.
