Short tutorial about installing GPIB on a Raspberry Pi
The purpose of this repository is to prepare a Raspberry Pi as a GPIB controller and make this as easy as possible. The provided installation bash script will install the following things:
- linux-gpib
- PyVISA for Python3
- Driver for Agilent 82357A (Agilent 82357B)
- support for NI GPIB-USB-HS
- VXI11 Server (poor mans Agilent E5810A GPIB to Ethernet Bridge https://github.com/PhilippCo/python-vxi11-server)
- Testgear lib (https://github.com/PhilippCo/testgear)
- Jupyter Lab as a Service (Passwort: 1281)
The linux-gpib setup is based on MiDis description on the EEVBlog Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/raspberry-pi23-logging-platform-for-voltnuts/msg2008349/#msg2008349
install Raspbian
Since some time the default user isn't 'pi' anymore. But a lot of scripts rely on paths for this user. Therefore, it is absolutely neccessary to use the username pi!
Update Raspbian and install everything you need
log in via ssh or console and just copy and paste these lines one after the other
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-kernel && sudo apt-get -y install raspberrypi-kernel-headers git
sudo reboot
After reboot log in again and paste this:
mkdir ~/repos && cd ~/repos && git clone https://github.com/PhilippCo/meas_rpi.git && meas_rpi/install.sh
