Software Setup

##Raspberry Pi (server) Setup

• Install Raspbian. My system is running Raspbian Jessie, but the software should work on other Raspbian flavors.
• Run sudo raspi-config to perform the following
  • If your system automatically boots into a window manager, [disable it]
  • Enable the camera
  • Enable ssh
  • Give your pi a fixed IP address or a hostname on the network
• Install the python-picamera library
• Make sure you can login to ssh. Now you can disconnect your keyboard and monitor if you wish.
• Download the server software to your pi.
• (After your wiring is in place) run 'sudo filmcap-test.py' to test your software and wiring setup. (Test file removed because no longer working with current wiring setup. Hope to replace it soon.)
• To start the server software, run sudo python fcServer.py in the folder where you have the software installed
• Once your software is reliably running the way you want it, you may want to have it start on boot. (Instructions to be added.)

##Client Setup (I've only tested this on Ubuntu, but other users have reported success in Windows)

• Ensure you're running Python 2.7. This code isn't tested on Python 3 as of this writing.
• Install OpenCV 3 and python bindings using this link
• Install qt: apt-get install python-qt4
• Install matplotlib: apt-get install python-matplotlib
• Download the client software from here.
• If necessary, modify the line server_ip = "raspberrypi.local" in config.py to point to your pi.
• You may want to install sshfs so that you can easily edit the server python and config files from your client machine.
• To start the software, run 'python fcClient.py' in the folder where your client software is installed.
