These instructions are a work in progress
- flash SD card with raspberry pi OS using Raspberry PI Imager application
- can now use the set-up features to:
- set the host-name (swallow-016, eg)
- enter wifi credentials for a local wifi network.
- enable SSH
- set username ("pi" is good) and password (ask a lab member)
Note: if setting up multiple swallows, can re-use the settings but need to re-enter the wifi password, login password, and modify the host-name
-
SSH into the pi:
ssh pi@[hostname].local, password: whatever you set during imaging -
Get MAC address: from Pi's command line interface, run
ip link show | grep ether
-
write IP and MAC address in internal Google Drive swallow spreadsheet
-
Also add serial number to internal Google Drive swallow spreadsheet
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Serial
- Expand file system to use entire SD card
sudo raspi-config > advanced > expand filesystem
- add exfat file system support
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install exfat-fuse
sudo apt install exfatprogs
- make sure you are in the home folder
- clone picopy from github and install:
cd
git clone https://github.com/sammlapp/picopy.git
sudo sh ./picopy/script/install.sh
- stop picopy to avoid competition for GPIO
sudo /etc/init.d/picopy.sh stop
- run test script on pi:
python3 /home/pi/picopy/test_leds_buttons.py - all leds will light up if they are working properly
- check that all buttons work by pushing each button (should see text logged in console for each button)
- use ctrl+C to exit
power-button setup:
git clone https://github.com/sammlapp/pi-power-button.git
sudo sh ./pi-power-button/script/install
- Reboot by holding the power button for 3 seconds, then check that it starts picopy (flashes green light 'ready' status) and recognizes an external exFat drive (source/dest drive LED lights up)
