So my original goal for this project was to take some pictures of the mountains at pre-determined times. I found that this might be useful in other cases as well, so I'm going to be building an enclosure next and allowing maybe a tripod screw mount.
S/W Requirements:
1. Set a period (eventually elsewhere, but for now in code)
2. Turn Camera on
3. Once camera's stabilized take a picture
4. Turn camera off.
5. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Here's some footage.
