Build an Automatically Updating Digital Photo Frame with a Raspberry Pi and Google Photos


We already know the Raspberry Pi makes a great photo frame, but DIYer Paul Stamatiou took it another step and integrated in Google Photos.

Stamatiou took a frame, stuffed a small display inside, mounted the Raspberry Pi to the back, then created a script to load in Google Photos. The end result is a digital photo frame that’s automatically pulling in new photos and cycling them every 10 minutes. It’s a pretty neat little project that isn’t terribly complicated, especially if you use Google Photos. Head over to Stamatiou’s site for the full guide to make it for yourself.
