| - | <code> | ||
| - | Webserver | ||
| - | |||
| - | To host the interface (which is simply a webpage), i needed an Apache webserver to be running on the Raspberry. Since this is one of the most common uses of the Rasberry, the installation of Apache is very streamlined. | ||
| - | |||
| - | First I made sure i was running the latest system software by running the following command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y | ||
| - | No it’s time to actually install apache: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils | ||
| - | Done! That’s all there is. But to make sure I was able to use some PHP scripts on the webserver (more about that later), I also added PHP support: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php-pear php5-xcache | ||
| - | Done … again! Reboot, and the webserver is up and running! I dropped a index.php file in the /var/www folder, and pointed my browser to the Raspberry’s ip adress and yes, it worked. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Kioskmode | ||
| - | |||
| - | Now, to make sure the Raspberry actually shows the webpage I will be using Chromium in kioskmode. Chromium is an open source browser which is able to run on the Raspberry’s OS. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once again, installing was easy: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo apt-get install chromium x11-xserver-utils unclutter | ||
| - | |||
| - | But this time, it needed some extra configuration to disable the | ||
| - | screensaver and autoboot in kioskmode. To do this i | ||
| - | edited /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and added a # before: | ||
| - | |||
| - | /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi | ||
| - | |||
| - | @xscreensaver -no-splash | ||
| - | Additionally, I added the following lines: | ||
| - | |||
| - | @xset s off | ||
| - | @xset -dpms | ||
| - | @xset s noblank | ||
| - | @chromium --kiosk --incognito http://localhost | ||
| - | This completely disables all screensaving features, and makes sure chromium will start after boot an points to the localhost webserver in full screen mode. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Time to save the file and reboot once more to check if it works. Since the Raspberry isn’t worlds fastest computer, it took a while, but eventually the testsite appeared on the 90 degrees rotated screen … Yeah! | ||
| - | |||
| - | On to the last part of the project. The development of the interface. | ||
| - | |||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | # enable raspicam | ||
| - | start_x=1 | ||
| - | gpu_mem=256 | ||
| - | |||
| - | # magic mirror | ||
| - | display_rotate=1 | ||
| - | |||
| - | display_rotate=0 Normal | ||
| - | display_rotate=1 90 degrees | ||
| - | display_rotate=2 180 degrees | ||
| - | display_rotate=3 270 degrees | ||
| - | display_rotate=0x10000 horizontal flip | ||
| - | display_rotate=0x20000 vertical flip | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | sudo apt-get install sqlite3 | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite | ||
| - | |||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | Install avahi with the following commands on the Pi: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon | ||
| - | |||
| - | and then on older Debian installs: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo update-rc.d avahi-daemon defaults | ||
| - | |||
| - | or on newer Raspbian installs: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo insserv avahi-daemon | ||
| - | |||
| - | (if in doubt, you're probably on the newer one). | ||
| - | Create a configfile for Avahi at /etc/avahi/services/multiple.service. I did this with the following command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo pico /etc/avahi/services/multiple.service | ||
| - | |||
| - | The contents of this file should be something like the following, courtesy of aXon on the Rasperry Pi forums: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> | ||
| - | <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> | ||
| - | <service-group> | ||
| - | <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> | ||
| - | <service> | ||
| - | <type>_device-info._tcp</type> | ||
| - | <port>0</port> | ||
| - | <txt-record>model=RackMac</txt-record> | ||
| - | </service> | ||
| - | <service> | ||
| - | <type>_ssh._tcp</type> | ||
| - | <port>22</port> | ||
| - | </service> | ||
| - | </service-group> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Apply the new configuration with: | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Pi should now be addressable from other machines as raspberrypi.local, for example: | ||
| - | |||
| - | ssh pi@raspberrypi.local | ||
| - | </code> | ||
