web UI or Command line ? #22

Hi, thanks for the grainfather request. I had a hard time upgrading my old laptop to ubuntu 20.xx to install tilt-pitch.

I "think" it is running. i have this in the terminal window:

Starting... ...started: Prometheus (http://127.0.0.1:8000/metrics) ...started: File (pitch_log.json) ...started: Grainfather Custom URL ...started: Tilt scanner Ready! Listening for beacons

Question: is there a web interface ?

pitch_log.json is 0 bytes so i cannot tell if anything is wrong.

Merci,

Mario

There is no web UI, just the command line. It will log beacons it receives to the console plus some nicer json formatted values to the pitch_log.json. Based on what you shared everything is running okay, two explanations are that the computer's Bluetooth is just not receiving a signal from Tilt, or that there is a configuration issue on the OS level preventing Bluetooth from working.

You mentioned you are on Ubuntu, did you run the prereqs? https://github.com/linjmeyer/tilt-pitch/blob/master/examples/install/prereqs.sh I have never tested that script on Ubuntu, but I have on my Raspberry Pi which is Debian based and very similar to Ubuntu. I would expect it to work the same.

Another thing you can try is running pitch with sudo (root) like sudo python3 -m pitch. That would explain if it's a permissions issue.

Let me know how that goes, I'm not a Linux expert but I can try and help!
