Repo with boilerplate and help for setting up a IoT prototyping project

Introduction

This repository is about a default setup for developing/prototyping IoT applications with a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino.

Initial setup of your Raspberry Pi

To setup the RPi you need raspbian: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

Download the image and unpack the zip-file. Then you can install it from Linux to your sd-card of choice with dd.

When booting your RPi for the first time, you will get into a configuration utility.

• From there you can resize the filesystem to use all of the available space
• Set the password
• Set locale (enable en_US.utf8 and sv_SE.utf8)
• From advanced options - enable ssh-server

After that, reboot and log in with the defaul user 'pi' and the password you just set.

Raspberry Pi configuration

Now we're ready to install some software.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade # will download up to 150MB of packages.
$ sudo apt-get install emacs

Get the code and dependencies that you will base your project on

Begin by cloning this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/danjo133/ArduinoWeb.git

Then you can go into arduinoweb and run:

$ pyvenv-3.4 env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install RPi.GPIO
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

And now you're done, time to to run the webserver!

$ python3 main.py

Now your web-server is up and running and allow you to point your browser to the raspberry pi on port 5000!
