# Installation This installation guide will lead you through the whole process of installation and starting up your personal Braubar. ## Raspberry Pi A common and small distribution is the raspbian image. Download it and copy it to your sd card. For the copy enshure that the device is not mounted. You need to be root. ```bash dd bs=4M if=/tmp/2016-03-18-raspbian-jessie-lie.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 && sync ``` `sync`enshures that all data will be written to the sd card. You can find the appropriate image on After you finished with sync, mount your sd card under `/mnt` Open `/mnt/boot/config.txt` and add the following lines at the end ``` # rotate display lcd_rotate=2 ``` For IP settings modify `/mnt/etc/dhcpdc.conf` to configure your network settings. ``` interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.3.100 static routers=192.168.3.1 static domain_server=8.8.8.8 ``` Adjust IP settings to your needs. Now unmount your sd card and get your Pi running. Afterwards you need to get access to the Pi, my favorite is ssh. Open `raspi-conf` and select entry `Expand Filesystem` to expand the image to the full size of your sd card and reboot. Othervise there is not enough space left. ### Debian and Packages The following software will be installed: - supervisor - python3 - pip - iceweasel - xinit - matchbox Debian 8: After boot run a update and then install the required software ```bash apt-get update && apt-get install supervisor python3 python3-pip iceweasel xinit matchbox ``` ### X Window System create `.xinitrc` file in `home` folder ``` matchbox-window-manager & exec /usr/bin/iceweasel http://localhost:5000 ``` To start iceweasel in fullscreen mode it is neccesary to start it one, enter fullscreen mode and exit. Then it it will be saved in your profile. Another option is to create your own profile, but I won't handle that here. ### Auto Login Edit file at `/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service` and change `ExecStart=` line in section `[Service]` to this ``` ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -a pi %I $TERM ``` To get X with iceweasel started automatically add the following snippet to the end of `~/.bash_login` ``` [[ -z $DISPLAY && $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]] && exec startx ``` Since we have no window manager which runs in systemd it is neccesary to set `multi-user.target` as default ``` systemctl set-default multi-user.target ``` But be careful, now you can't login to anything other than the iceweasel application. Except you do a remote login. ### Braubar installation Download braubar-pi to you Pi ```bash wget https://github.com/braubar/braubar-pi/archive/master.zip ``` and unzip it e.g. to your home folder ```bash unzip master.zip && rm master.zip && cd braubar-pi-master ``` to install the needed python requirements run as root ```bash pip3 install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Install and configure dnsmasq If there is a DHCP Server already running then please change IP settings and ignore this section. First install dnsmasq on your system. ```bash apt-get install dnsmasq ``` There is a preconfigured file for dnsmasq for Braubar. `$BRAUBAR_HOME/install/dnsmasq.conf` ```bash mv /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf.bak ln -s /home/pi/braubar-pi-master/install/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf ``` ### Config Braubar start with Supervisor Adjust paths to your configuration! Create link to config in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/braubar.conf ```bash ln -s $BRAUBAR_HOME/install/braubar.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/braubar.conf ``` ```ini [program:braubar] command=/home/pi/braubar-pi-master/bin/braubar directory=/home/pi/braubar-pi-master/bin loglevel=warning process_name=%(program_name)s autostart=true autorestart=unexpected startsecs=10 startretries=3 stopasgroup=true redirect_stderr=false stdout_logfile=/home/pi/braubar-pi-master/log/braubar.log stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB stdout_logfile_backups=10 stdout_capture_maxbytes=1MB stdout_events_enabled=false stderr_logfile=/home/pi/braubar-pi-master/log/braubar.err stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB stderr_logfile_backups=10 stderr_capture_maxbytes=1MB stderr_events_enabled=false serverurl=AUTO ``` reread and restart supervisr and show status `supervisorctl reread && supervisorctl reload && supervisorctl status` control log in `/var/log/supervisor/supervisor.log` ## Arduino In Braubar the Arduino acts as a temperature sensor. ### Geting started It is required to have an running Arduino environment. Then you can either upload the program to your Arduino within Arduino Studio or with the shipped Makefile, which is recommended. Before running Make you shoud have a look at the Makefile to ensuhre your Serial Port is mapped to the right device. To upload the compiled program to your Arduino run: ``` make clean && make && make upload ``` After running successfully it will request an IP from your DHCP server and start sending broadcast packages all over your local network. To avoid broadcasting, please enter the desired IP for `IPAddress server` in `braubar_temp.ino` file. Also it is possible to change the port from 50505 to your wish. ### Functionality It sends a package every second with the current temperature value, the id of the sensor and a start and end sequence consistion of `0xF0FF` and a end sequence with the same sync bits.
