Installation in virtual environment

To avoid problems due to broken or outdated system packages you can consider using a virtual environment:

cd /path/to/your/folder
git clone https://github.com/haxko/NE3-Scope.git
cd NE3-Scope
python -m venv .
. bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./client.py --help

Usage

1. Turn on your earpick
2. Connect your PC to the earpicks WiFi (hndec-xxxx)
   1. You should get 192.168.169.2 as IP via the earpicks DHCP-server
3. Start the software: ./client.py -v -r (-v for verbose, -r for auto rotation)
4. Once connected you should see the earpicks image, rotated to stay level (-r)

Notes

• The earpick is fixed to 2.4GHz WiFi channel 1. Try to keep your other networks to channel >= 3 to avoid interference.
• Only a single PC/phone may be connected to the earpick.
• Native resolution is 640x360
• It usually comes in white and black and there are at least 3 different housings
• We also took some images of the internal chips you find them in /images/hardware/
