Sleep&Wake

Raspberry Pi 3 + Witty Pi 2

• Follow the manual for installing the shield

• I strongly recommend to install the software for Witty Pi 2 BEFORE physically mount Witty Pi 2 on your Raspberry Pi.

• The command to install is:

  • wget http://www.uugear.com/repo/WittyPi2/installWittyPi.sh
  • sudo sh installWittyPi.sh

• Reboot your Raspberry Pi

• Insert the Witty Pi on Raspberry board

• You will then see a new “wittyPi” directory

• Placed in the folder "wittyPi" --> sudo ./wittyPi.sh command to run the witty program

• You can use our web application to create your schedule script. Just simply open this URL in your web browser and you are ready to go: http://www.uugear.com/app/wittypi-scriptgen/ --> Set Sleep&Wake as you like it!

• This is the script that is right for us:

      #Set the Sleep&Wake time --> Sleep 50 minutes and Run 10 minutes from 7:00 to 19:00
      BEGIN 2015-08-01 06:00:00
      END   2025-07-31 23:59:59
      ON    M10
      OFF   H12
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
      ON    M10
      OFF   M50
  

• Set crontab --> in /home write: sudo crontab -e

  • Insert to end file: @reboot python /home/pi/FliesFree/master/firmware/master/main.py or your path to MASTER
  • Insert to end file: @reboot python /home/pi/FliesFree/slave/firmware/slave/main.py or your path to SLAVE

  This comand run the program when Rasp on.
