KORUZA Software Package

To set-up a system running the KORUZA software package one may choose vuilding from the latest source or using a pre-compiled binary.

Install with pre-compiled binary

To install a pre-compiled binary a Raspberry Pi device is required, by default Raspberry Pi Compute Module (V1 or V3), but versions should work if correct GPIO pins are configured for different features. Install Raspbian Lite operating system, configure it correctly and then install the pre-compiled package:

wget https://github.com/IRNAS/koruza-rpi-package/releases/download/stable/koruza.deb
sudo dpkg -i koruza.deb

Once package is installed, it can be simply upgraded running:

sudo koruza-upgrade

which will fetch the latest stable release and install it.

Build from source

To build the software package for the ARM-based KORUZA compute module, you need a working Docker installation. Then run the following:

./build.sh

After the build process completes, you get everything packaged in a Debian package called koruza_1.0-1.deb. To install or upgrade the package, run the following on the KORUZA compute module:

sudo dpkg -i koruza_1.0-1.deb

If you get some missing dependencies, be sure to also run:

sudo apt-get -f install

Motor homing tests

In order to run continuous motor homing test every time the compute module is rebooted, run the following and reboot the device:

sudo uci set koruza.@motors[0].test=1
sudo uci commit koruza

To disable the tests later:

sudo uci set koruza.@motors[0].test=0
sudo uci commit koruza

Configuring a serial number

In order to configure a serial number for the unit (e.g., 0001) run:

sudo uci set koruza.@unit[0].serial_number=0001

If this command gives you an invalid argument error, run the following:

sudo uci add koruza unit
sudo uci set koruza.@unit[0].serial_number=0001

Commit the changes by running:

sudo uci commit koruza

Configuring monitoring push location

In order to configure the URL where the unit should push data (e.g., for push.kw.koruza.net), run:

sudo uci set nodewatcher.@agent[0].push_url_template=https://push.kw.koruza.net/push/http/{uuid}
sudo uci commit nodewatcher

Configuring webcam zoom and flip

To enable image flipping, run:

sudo uci set koruza.@webcam[0].flip=1  # 0 to disable.

The webcam image is automatically centered on the calibrated position (requires restart). To change the zoom in X and/or Y direction, run:

sudo uci set koruza.@webcam[0].zoom_w=0.4  # X direction.
sudo uci set koruza.@webcam[0].zoom_h=0.4  # Y direction.

Commit the changes by running:

sudo uci commit koruza

After making the modifications either reboot the device or restart the mjpg-streamer service:

sudo systemctl restart mjpg-streamer

Manually capturing video or images from the webcam

You can capture video and images manuall from koruza unit using the following method, see this link for more information on using the raspivid command.

sudo systemctl stop mjpg-streamer
sudo raspivid -o vid.h264
sudo systemctl start mjpg-streamer

Setting a static IP address:

The static IP address can be configured by establishing an ssh connection to the unit pi@<ip address> with default password raspberry.

Then use the following command to edit config:

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf and copy paste this, editting the settings:

 interface eth0

static ip_address=192.168.0.10/24
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

then reboot by issuing sudo reboot

Testing the camera stream

The internal camera stream can be in experimetnal mode accessed via: <ip>:8080/?action=stream
