RoboPi

RoboPi code for use with Raspberry Pi to build a controllable robot.

This is the code I've used to get a two geared motor robot up and running on my raspberry pi. It allows control over http and streams from a webcam attached to the front.

Dependencies needed python 2.7.3 or greater (tested only on 2.7.3) python RPi.GPIO Adafruit occidentalis operating system. nginx

Installation steps

  1. Install nginx sudo apt-get install nginx

  2. Clone this github code to the Pi.

  3. Copy the contents of the www folder to /usr/share/nginx/www/

  4. Copy server.py to /home/pi/

  5. Copy mjpg_streamer and robopi-server to /etc/init.d/ and make executable: sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mjpg_streamer sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/robopi-server

  6. Set mjpg_streamer and robopi-server to start on boot: sudo update-rc.d mjpg_streamer defaults sudo update-rc.d robopi-server defaults

  7. Install mjpg_streamer - this is outside the scope of this README, head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/

  8. Edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default and under the server directive add these two locations at the end: location /webcam/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/; } location /json/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8090/; }

  9. Edit /home/pi/server.py and set the pin configuration that you have chosen to use to connect your motors.

  10. Reboot your Pi.

  11. Login to http://ip.ip.ip.ip/ and start to control your RoboPi :)
