===User and network (WiFi)===
+
−
 
+
−
Connect to DTU Wifi
+
−
 
+
−
* use NTP (network time protocol) with DTU network (require ntp and ntpdate packages)
+
−

−
===Enable autostart===
+
−
 
+
−
====Display of IP====
+
−
 
+
−
Start app to display IP on Regbot display, log CPU temperature and synchronize hostname
+
−
 
+
−
Make an on-rebbot script in the home directory
+
−
 
+
−
cp ~/svn/robobot/setup/on_reboot.bash ~/
+
−
 
+
−
This file is something like:
+
−
 
+
−
#!/bin/bash
+
−
# script to start applications after a reboot
+
−
#
+
−
# run the app to show IP of raspberry on the Teensy display.
+
−
mkdir -p /home/local/svn/log
+
−
cd /home/local/svn/log
+
−
# save the last reboot date
+
−
echo "Rebooted" >> rebootinfo.txt
+
−
date >> rebootinfo.txt
+
−
../robobot/ip_disp/build/ip_disp &
+
−
# save PID for debugging
+
−
echo "ip_disp started with PID:" >> rebootinfo.txt
+
−
pgrep -l ip_disp >> rebootinfo.txt
+
−
exit 0
+
−
 
+
−
Use crontab to run this script at reboot
+
−
 
+
−
crontab -e
+
−
 
+
−
If asked, select the preferred editor (suggesting nano).
+
−
 
+
−
Add this line at the end:
+
−
@reboot /home/local/on_reboot.bash
+
−
 
+
−
====Hostname update====
+
−
 
+
−
A script updates the Raspberry Pi hostname, with the name in ''~/svn/log/robotname''.
+
−
The script ''rename_host.bash'' is:
+
−
#!/bin/bash
+
−
hn=`hostname`
+
−
f="/home/local/svn/log/robotname"
+
−
if [ -f $f ];
+
−
then
+
−
  nn=`cat $f`
+
−
  yy= $(expr length $nn)
+
−
  if [ $yy -gt 2 ];
+
−
  then
+
−
    if [ $hn != $nn ];
+
−
    then
+
−
      hostnamectl set-hostname $nn
+
−
      # seems like /etc/hosts is not updated, but /etc/hostname is
+
−
      sed -i "s/$hn/$nn/g" /etc/hosts
+
−
    else
+
−
      echo Same hostname, all is fine.
+
−
    fi
+
−
  fi
+
−
else
+
−
  echo "File >" $f "< not found."
+
−
fi
+
−
 
+
−
The script needs to be run as root, it is therefore set to run as part of the boot process.
+
−
 
+
−
Create the script in /etc/init.d
+
−
 
+
−
sudo nano /etc/init.d/host_rename.sh
+
−
 
+
−
Enter the following lines into the new file
+
−
 
+
−
#!/bin/bash
+
−
bash /home/local/svn/robobot/setup/rename_host.bash
+
−
 
+
−
Make the file executable and add it to run-level 2 (before networking is started)
+
−
 
+
−
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/host_rename.sh
+
−
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/host_rename.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99host_rename
+
−
 
+
−
The script is then executed when the Raspberry boots, and if the hostname does not match that of the Teensy, then the hostname is modified.
+

cd
cd svn
svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/robobot

To update with a new version 

cd
cd svn/robobot
svn update

Teensy
