Automated Herb Garden
Designed and tested solely on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Probably easily portable to similar devices.
- Gracefully detect when there's no i2c controller
From the top-level directory:
ln -s /etc/systemd/system/otto.service /home/pi/otto/otto.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable otto.service
sudo systemctl start otto.service
If it's the first time running the binary on the machine, better to do:
./src/build_and_run.sh
This takes care of installing dependencies and running everything. Note: it will fail if the computer is not connected to an i2c controller.
