Human Interface for Operation AIR

Built in Python 3 using the tkinter gui platform, matplotlib and pyserial.

For Production

In the case of Production it is assumed that a Raspberry Pi loaded with Raspbian is used.

Clone this repository in the home directory (eg /home/pi).

git clone https://github.com/OperationAIR/HumanInterface.git

Go into the new directory and install python dependencies and run the install script. This script will install the systemd service that automatically starts the app on startup.

Check Pipfile for any missing dependencies.

cd HumanInterface
pip3 install matplotlib numpy pyserial crcmod pyyaml gpiozero pygame
scripts/install.sh
scripts/production_mode.sh

# test the app
src/main.py

AIROne systemd service

The systemd service is named airone

Some useful commands:

# start the service
sudo service airone start
# stop the service and kill the app
sudo service airone stop
# see status overview
sudo service airone status

other scripts

• mcu.py for resetting the microcontroller to bootloader and back to application.
• firmware_update.sh for updating the microcontroller firmware. It will update to bin/firmware.bin.
• start.sh is the script called by airone service. It will apply the production config, flash the firmware and start the app.

For Development

How to install

Check Pipfile for requirements. These are easuly installable using Pipenv or you can do it manually.

Install using pipenv

Go to the project directory and start a pipenv shell pipenv shell. Then install dependencies: pipenv install

Install manually

Use pip or apt or brew or any other (python) package manager ot obtain all required dependencies as listed in Pipfile

How to Run

Apply development config, or create your own config/config.yml based on config/config.yml.example.

# run this
scripts/dev_mode.sh

# or
cp config/config.yml.example config/config.yml
# edit config.yml

Run with python3 on ubuntu or Raspbian

You need python3 in your path
