XXX: Load Hivetool on the Pi

Get the latest operating system image

Raspbian Wheezy is currently used, although others should work.

The latest image available from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads is: 2013-12-20-wheezy-raspbian.zip

1. Download the zipped image (approximately 800 MB)
2. Calculate the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix/Linux, the command line is:

   sha1sum 2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.zip

   This will print out a long hex number which should match the "SHA-1 Checksum" line for the SD image you have downloaded

3. Extract the image, with

   unzip 2012-12-20-wheezy-raspbian.zip

Copy the image to the SD card

Make SD card on Unix/Linux system

Detailed instructions: http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Flashing_the_SD_Card_using_Linux_.28including_on_a_Pi.21.29

1. Determine the device for the card reader (/dev/mmcblk0 on my laptop).
2. Copy the image to the SD card:

   dd bs=4M if=2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Make SD card on Windows system

raspberrypi.org recommends using: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ But be careful. REMOVE any other USB memory devices from your computer. Detailed instructions: http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Flashing_the_SD_Card_using_Windows

Boot Pi, expand file system, set timezone and hostname

1. Boot Pi and login
2. Expand file system, set timezone and hostname

Install required packages

Note: The Pi must be connected to the internet to update or add packages!

1. Update before trying to add packages

   sudo apt-get -y update

Note: Running apt-get update does not fix the shellshock bash vulnerability. You must also run:
      sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

1. Get gawk, bc for shell scripts, apache for webserver, libusb to read TEMPerHUMs, graphics library.

   sudo apt-get install gawk bc apache2 libusb-dev libgd2-xpm-dev

2. Now get Graphics for perl. Force the install. Get XML::Simple for commands.

   sudo cpan -f GD

   sudo cpan GD::Text GD::Graph Date::Format XML::Simple

3. Make hivetool and htdocs directories.

   sudo mkdir /home/hivetool /var/www/htdocs /home/downloads

4. Get the perl code, the shtml files and the patched pm and copy it to the perl module directory

   cd /home/downloads

   sudo git clone https://github.com/hivetools/perl

   sudo cp perl/axestype.pm /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/GD/Graph/axestype.pm

   sudo cp perl/*.pl perl/*.shtml /var/www/htdocs

5. Get the hivetool bash scripts and copy them to their proper directory

   sudo git clone https://github.com/hivetools/bash

   sudo cp bash/*.sh /home/hivetool

6. get the crontab file

   sudo git clone https://github.com/hivetools/cron

Done installing hivetool files

Set the ethernet parameters and DNS servers

Note: A static IP is only needed for port forwarding through the firewall. If you do not intend to open a hole in the firewall to allow public access to the web server, skip this step and let the Pi obtain an IP from the DHCP server in the router.

1. set static ip for port forwarding

   sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces:

   iface eth0 inet dhcp

   iface eth0 inet static

   address 192.168.254.31

   netmask 255.255.255.0

   gateway 192.168.254.254

2. Set the dns Servers

   /etc/network/interfaces

   /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

Configure apache

1. set up apache to listen on port 8080

   sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf

   add Listen 8080

2. add .pl to AddHandler cgi-script

   sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf

   uncomment #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi and add .pl so it looks like:

   AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

3. add Includes to Options:

   sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

   In stanza <Directory /var/www/>

   change

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

   to

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes

4. Add index.shtml to DirectoryIndex:

   sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf

   Change

   DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm

   to

   DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm index.shtml

5. Copy includes.load to enable it

   sudo cp /etc/apache2/mods-available/include.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

6. Restart Apache

/etc/rc4.d/S02apache2 restart

Install the HX711 scale software

1. Download the software from gitHub
   git clone https://github.com/ggurov/hx711
2. Change the GPIO pins in hx711.c from 30 and 31
3. If using P5, change to 28 and 30. This way they are all on one side of P5:

#define CLOCK_PIN       30
#define DATA_PIN        28

1. If using P1, pick two unused GPIO pins such as:

#define CLOCK_PIN       24
#define DATA_PIN        23

1. Compile:

 gcc  -o hx711 h711.c gb_common.o

Install the TEMPerHUM software

tempered can be installed with just the binaries (quicker) or from source (you have the source code to fix bugs)

Install binaries

1. get the binaries and libraries

   sudo git clone https://github.com/hivetools/tempered_pi

2. copy the files to their directories

   cd tempered_pi

   sudo cp hid-query tempered /usr/local/bin/

   sudo cp libtempered-util.so libtempered-util.so.0 libtempered.so libtempered.so.0 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

   sudo cp libhidapi-hidraw.so.0 /usr/local/lib/

   sudo cp tempered-util.h tempered.h /usr/local/include/

3. run ldconfig (or reboot)

   sudo ldconfig

Install from source

Install from source: http://hivetool.net/node/59

Edit the cron table

The scripts that read the sensors, log the data, and send it off site (if enabled) are run periodically by the scheduler, cron. Cron setup can be done from the command line with crontab. For cron setup and examples, see Sample contab entries

Set or change hostname

If the hostname was not set above using raspi-config, set the hostname:

1. Set the local host name

   sudo vi /etc/hostname

2. and edit the local host name here, too:

   sudo vi /etc/hosts
