Use your nokia phone as a wireless spy camera

Now anyone can kick James Bond's ass with this little app. From your computer, and over bluetooth, you can tell your phone to take a picture and send it to you.

In order to get this working just use the "sync and run" to run these two commands on hte pc side:

control.py -x "import camera;im = camera.take_photo();im.save('c:\\pic.jpg')"
control.py -g 'c:\\pic.jpg' mypic.jpg

have fun!



Easing Python development for S60 NOKIA phone

Intro

It's a pain to download run and debug python scripts in the phone, so here I present a simple solution so developing becomes fun again!

Software you'll need:

• Python http://www.python.org/ (I'm using 2.4)
• pywin32 http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
  
• PySerial: http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/ I'm using pyserial-2.2.win32.exe, you'll also need pyserial-2.2.zip
• tcs60fs: find it in the files section
• control.py: in the files section too

Once you have installed the above things, run (respecting the order)

• install the tcs60fs sis on your phone
  
• extract tcp_serial_redirect.py from pyserial-2.2.zip and run it with the following params and leave it running!
  
• c:/>tcp_serial_redirect.py -p com5 -b 115200
• (note: substitute com5 with your bt virtual port)
• run tcs60fs on your phone and connect to the computer
• note: don't forget to run first the tcp_serial_redirect.py

Using control.py:

• PUT files to the phone:
• usage: control.py -p
• example: control.py -p c:/my_prog.py c:/test.py
• GET files to the phone:
• usage: control.py -g
• example: control.py -g 'c:/my_prog.py' c:/test.py
• EXEC files on the phone:
• usage: control.py -xf
• example: c:/>control.py -xf c:/test.py
• EVAL commands on the phone
• usage: control.py -x " "
• example: c:/>control.py -x "print 'hellow world'\n"
  

Final words

That's all! now you should be able to upload files and run programs on your phone from you pc.
