Will need to document this in the readme.

Connecting to the camera

After some messing about, I realised I don't need a DHCP server, instead I just need to bring up the eth0 port in the right subnet range, e.g: sudo ifconfig eth0 up 169.254.160.220

please figure best way to install pip stuff on a pi?

Tasks

1) Setting up the SD card ideally without needing to plug a HDMI monitor/keyboard etc. 2) Setting up networking to connect to wifi 3) Setting up networking to connect to camera seems like a fixed ip on the pi [eth0] works: sudo ifconfig eth0 up 169.254.160.220 4) Setting up the aravis library 5) Installing other software? 6) Checking bee_track works.

Just writing this here in case my work doesn't save or something stupid

Steps so far

Pi setup and connection

Steps to take to create a headless pi without using a GUI

Flash OS using Raspbian Imager
Unplug and replug into PC
Create files in boot partition (NOT root/boot): -- ssh.txt

-- wpa_supplicant.conf with the following:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=GB

network={
    ssid="WiFi SSID"
    psk="WPA/WPA2 passphrase"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Insert into PI and power on, wait until pi turns up as connected on hotspot The Headless pi should now be accessible

Find ip address of Pi : ping raspberrypi.local
SSH to pi : ssh pi@IP

In root directory of the pi

Setup virtual environment python -m venv bee-venv

Activate - every reboot Make sure all commands are run in the virtual environment from now on source bee-venv/bin/activate

pip install bee_track pip install git+https://github.com/lionfish0/bee_track.git

WORK OUT OTHER PIP INSTALLS

Running Beetrack

Make sure you are in venvironment where all the installs have occured

cd bee_track

sudo ifconfig eth0 up 169.254.160.220 Check cameras are working: arv-camera-test-0.10

./startupfast Connect to pi with:

http://raspberrypi.local:8000/

Steps to setup RP with Aravis and get it working oh yeah

Pi setup and connection

Flash OS using Raspbian Imager
Unplug and replug into PC
Create files in boot partition (NOT root/boot): -- touc ssh.txt

-- touch wpa_supplicant.conf with the following:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=GB

network={
    ssid="WiFi SSID"
    psk="WPA/WPA2 passphrase"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Insert into PI and power on, wait until pi turns up as connected on hotspot

Find ip address of Pi : ping raspberrypi.local
SSH to pi : ssh pi@IP

In root directory of the pi (or create project dir with all files in)

Setup virtual environment python -m venv bee-venv

Activate - every reboot Make sure all commands are run in the virtual environment from now on source bee-venv/bin/activate

pip install bee_track git clone https://github.com/lionfish0/bee_track.git

cd bee_track/

pip install -e . sudo apt install libatlas3-base

Aravis setup

git clone https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis.git

sudo apt install cmake

and

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

and

meson setup aravis/

cd aravis

meson build

cd build

meson configure -Dviewer=enabled -Dintrospection=enabled -Dgst-plugin=enabled

sudo ninja install might have to pip install ninja

Beetrack setup

Important installs:

pip install PyGObject rpimotorlib rpi-lgpio psutil spidev requests

pip install scipy
git clone https://github.com/lionfish0/retrodetect.git
cd retrodetect
pip install -e .
git clone https://github.com/lionfish0/QueueBuffer.git
cd QueueBuffer
pip install -e .
pip install libsvm
pip install -U flask-cors
pip install mem_top
pip install flask_compress

Running Beetrack

Make sure you are in venvironment where all the installs have occured

cd bee_track

sudo ifconfig eth0 up 169.254.160.220 Check cameras are working: arv-camera-test-0.10

./startupfast If something goes wrong use killall python3

Connect to pi with:

http://raspberrypi.local:8000/

Running Beetrack on Boot automatically

Edit rc.local sudo nano /etc/rc.local Add the following line:

su - pi -c /home/pi/bee_track/startup &

TODO: Change bee_track/startup to run on venv we have created.


export GI_TYPELIB_PATH=$GI_TYPELIB_PATH:/home/pi/aravis/build/src
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pi/aravis/build/src
cd /home/pi/bee_track/webinterface
/home/pi/bee-venv/bin/python3 -m http.server &

sudo ifconfig eth0 up 169.254.160.220

sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=67108864 net.core.rmem_default=67108864
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.route.flush=1
sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000
/home/pi/bee-venv/bin/python3 ../bee_track/core.py

The last line runs the application in the virtualenvironment

Add the following to /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 169.254.160.220

Reboot and the project should run without any interaction

We've copied in the original code from lionfish0's repo.

Finally:

[x] Reinstall from scratch bee_track etc on a new sd card
[x] Test!
