Software (en)

After the hardware is fully assembled, the software can be installed. The recommended method for this is the installation via build-script. It's possible to run the script with and without Internet connection. To get the most up-to-date version of all software components, the installation with Internet connection is recommended!

The script downloads and installs all required programs and libraries. Furthermore, the real-time clock as well as the auto-start of the software are set up on request.

online build-script

1. Set up a new raspbian lite image.
2. Install the following programs:
   sudo apt-get install usbmount cmake imagemagick fbi i2c-tools gpac
3. Now download the ActionPi Software and unzip it.
   cd ~/Downloads/
git clone https://github.com/Seil0/ActionPi.git
4. Execute the build script and the ActionPi software and all needed libraries will be installed.
   cd ActionPi/
./build.sh

offline build-script

1. Set up a new raspbian lite image.
2. Install the following programs, either with the Internet connection described above or via the corresponding packages:

• usbmount
• cmake
• imagemagick
• fbi
• i2c-tools
• gpac

3. Copy the ActionPi_install_offline.zip file into ~/Downloads/ and unzip it.
   cd ~/Downloads/
unzip ActionPi_install_offline.zip
4. Execute the build script and the ActionPi software and all needed libraries will be installed.
   cd ActionPi_install_offline/
./build_offline.sh

manuale Installation

The manual installation is only recommended for advanced users!

1. Set up a new raspbian lite image.
2. Install the following program:
   sudo apt-get install usbmount cmake imagemagick fbi i2c-tools gpac
3. Install the raspicam c ++ library.

cd ~/Downloads/
wget -O raspicam_c++-lib.zip https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicam/files/raspicam-0.1.3.zip/download#
unzip raspicam_c++-lib.zip
cd raspicam-0.1.3/
cmake install
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

4. Install the bcm2835 library.

cd ~/Downloads/
wget -O bcm2835-1.50.tar.gz http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.50.tar.gz
tar zxvf bcm2835-1.50.tar.gz
cd bcm2835-1.50/
./configure
make
sudo make check
sudo make install

5. Install the ActionPi software.

cd ~/Downloads/
git clone https://github.com/Seil0/ActionPi.git
cd ActionPi/
g++ -Wall ActionPi.cpp -oActionPi -l raspicam -l bcm2835 -std=c++0x
mkdir ~/ActionPi
mv -i ActionPi ~/ActionPi/ActionPi
cd ~/ActionPi/
chmod +x ActionPi

6. (Optional) Start the ActionPi software automatically on boot up.
   sudo echo "sudo ~/ActionPi./ActionPi" > /etc/rc.local
7. (Optional) Add i2c configuration for the real-time clock.
   sudo i2cdetect -y 1; sudo modprobe rtc-ds1307; sudo echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
8. (Optional) Deactivate dhcpcd, speeds up the boot process, disables DHCP! (Not recommended!)

sudo service dhcpcd stop
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd

9. Reboot the system (recommended).
   sudo reboot
