Alternative install instructions. #67

Closed RattyDAVE closed 3 years ago

RattyDAVE commented 3 years ago

From a fresh image of of the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite from https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/

Previous to this I put two files in the /boot ssh and wpa_supplicant.conf these are for my headless install.

Also you can set the SPI and HOSTNAME from the command line. Once booted ssh into the pi using the username pi and password raspberry and run the following.

!/bin/bash

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip mc git libopenjp2-7 sudo apt-get install -y libatlas-base-dev python3-pil

set hostname

sudo raspi-config nonint do_hostname pi-ticker

enable spi (0=on 1=off)

sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0

cd ~ git clone https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper git clone https://github.com/llvllch/btcticker.git cd btcticker cp -r /home/pi/e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/lib/waveshare_epd .

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

sudo sed -i -e '$i (while :; do /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/btcticker/btcticker.py && sleep 120; done) &\n' /etc/rc.local

reboot

Hi How did you solve this: from waveshare_epd import epd2in7 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'waveshare_epd'

veebch commented 3 years ago

Make sure you've done the Prerequisites listed at the beginning of the Readme file

@RattyDAVE This rc.local solution isn't ideal as it is ran as root, better to use sytemd with User=pi. The existing instructions seem fine as I followed them just yesterday and ended up with a working ticker.

RattyDAVE commented 3 years ago

My Apologises! I copied an old version!!!

cp -r /home/pi/e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/lib/waveshare_epd .

I have updated the 1st post with the CORRECT instructions... Sorry!

RattyDAVE commented 3 years ago

No need.. Everything is kept in the btcticker directory. INCLUDING the libraries!

I aggree the rc.local is not ideal.

As for the instructions what PiOS image were you using. The LIte version does not have all the packages installed as default.

Yes sir. Yesterday I tried to install everything following the instructions in README, but nothing came of it, even though I was still able to install the package waveshare (I installed each library separately, which was required to build the package, it took a long time). I got some errors at startup (something like that .EPD() is not a member of epd2in13_V2). In the end, I gave up and am now trying to blindly follow this instruction. I will definitely edit that message when I get some result.

veebch commented 3 years ago

I used PiOS lite, but I installed the extra libraries listed under Troubleshooting in the readme.

You can check for the waveshare library using python3 -m pip list

If it doesnt show:

  cd e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python
  sudo python3 setup.py install

@llvllch These alternative instructions you DONT need to to do the install or install via PIP. Please dont do this with my instructions. As that will cause confusion as the library will be installed in TWO places!

danijcom commented 3 years ago

The instruction from this post really works for fresh Raspberry Pi OS Lite from the official site (and it takes much less time than instruction in REAMDE). Everything starts up. It's funny, but now I have a different error. INFO:root:[Errno 2] No such file or directory (is happens when script trying to load ethereum logo). I can see ehtereum.bmp using ls in images folder and >>>os.path.isfile('/home/pi/btcticker/images/currency/ethereum.bmp') True I even tried sudo rm /home/pi/btcticker/images/currency/ethereum.bmp it returned no error, the script downloaded the image from coingecko and missed it again :hmm:

Nice version with the better startup script.

Thanks! I'll weave this into the readme. Thanks for sharing!

I hope you understand why I installed in a different way. And keeping most installed in /home/pi/btcticker/ I find that this makes upgrading easier and also if I want to customise the code everything is in one place.

I don't want to take anything away of what you have done. But ADD to it.

Regards!

I had problems with a fresh install following the steps, then followed RattyDAVE's last script manually installing all except for installing as a service. I am able to get it running, but no matter what updatefrequency I choose, it never changes. Any idea on what I can do to get it to cycle?

Nearly there! The config file should say cycle: true

I've tried it both ways, and it will never go to the next coin. I have tried variations of the updatefrequency to no avail.

bowersbc commented 3 years ago

I changed it to 5 and it took a few minutes, but it finally changed to the next coin.

veebch commented 3 years ago

If you set the update frequency to less than 180 (seconds), it sets it to 180 (due to the e-paper's manufacturers recommendations)
