| ==Software installation Raspberry Pi==
| | * [[Robobot install on Raspberry]] |
| | | * DTU network and time setup: [[Network setup]] |
| | | * [[Enable autostart]] and IP display |
| ===Install on Raspberry===
| | * [[Robobot base software installation]] |
| | | * Setup of [[Robobot webcam server]] |
| Barebone installation (Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) as of July 2023)
| | * Old [[robobot]], instructions are mostly depricated |
| | |
| [[Raspberry base install]] | |
| | |
| [[Raspberry wifi]]
| |
| | |
| * make a bootable SD card | |
| * Make a new user called local and set the group permissions
| |
| | |
| sudo adduser local gpio
| |
| | |
| * Install general-purpose development packages
| |
| | |
| ===User and network (WiFi)===
| |
| | |
| Connect to DTU Wifi
| |
| | |
| * connect to DTU network without with secret password
| |
| * use NTP (network time protocol) with DTU network
| |
| | |
| ===Enable autostart===
| |
| | |
| ====Display of IP====
| |
| | |
| Start app to display IP on Regbot display, log CPU temperature and synchronize hostname
| |
| | |
| ====Hostname update====
| |
| | |
| A script updates the Raspberry Pi hostname, with the name in ''~/svn/log/robotname''.
| |
| The script ''rename_host.bash'' is:
| |
| #!/bin/bash
| |
| hn=`hostname`
| |
| f="/home/local/svn/log/robotname"
| |
| if [ -f $f ];
| |
| then
| |
| nn=`cat $f`
| |
| yy= $(expr length $nn)
| |
| if [ $yy -gt 2 ];
| |
| then
| |
| if [ $hn != $nn ];
| |
| then
| |
| sed -i "s/$hn/$nn/g" /etc/hostname
| |
| sed -i "s/$hn/$nn/g" /etc/hosts
| |
| else
| |
| echo Same hostname, all is fine.
| |
| fi
| |
| fi
| |
| else
| |
| echo "File >" $f "< not found."
| |
| fi
| |
| | |
| The script needs to be run as root, it is therefore set to run as part of the boot process.
| |
| | |
| Create the script in /etc/init.d
| |
| | |
| sudo nano /etc/init.d/host_rename.sh
| |
| | |
| Enter the following line into the new file
| |
| | |
| bash /home/local/svn/robobot/setup/rename_host.bash
| |
| | |
| Make the file executable and add it to run-level 2 (before networking is started)
| |
| | |
| sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/host_rename.sh
| |
| ln -s /etc/init.d/host_rename.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99host_rename
| |
| | |
| The script is then executed when the Raspberry boots, and if the hostname does not match that of the Teensy, then the hostname is modified.
| |
| | |
