Project to launch a high altitude balloon. This repo will contain code for both the on-board system and the ground station.
To build the software, copy it onto the Pi remotely from another machine on the same wifi network and run the software:
- Make sure SSH is installed and enabled on both Pi and remote machine.
- For the temperature sensor, make sure the the Pi has the following Python library installed:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT
- For the pressure sensor, make sure the Pi has i2c enabled, and the follwowing Python library installed:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_BMP
- On the remote machine, run the buildToPi.sh script in the root folder of the repository.
sh buildToPi.sh IpAddressOfPi
- Connect to the Pi from the remote machine via ssh and run the runOnPi.sh script in /home/pi/project-latex
sh /home/pi/runOnPi.sh
To get the software running on the Pi at startup, add the following to the /etc/rc.local file:
(cd /home/pi/project-latex; sudo ./runOnPi.sh &)
