Something running on my RaspberryPi

pitools

A set of flask blueprints to be used on RaspberryPi, which allow you to retrieve sensor data or send data to hardware devices via simple HTTP request.

Installation

Notice: Adafruit_Python_BMP package has not yet been released to PyPI, so you need to manually get its source code here.

# Install Adafruit_Python_BMP package
# Enter source code folder for Adafrui_Python_BMP
cd Adafruit_BMP
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

# Install pitools
cd pitools
sudo python setup.py install

# All other dependencies will be automatically installed

Usage

Currently the available modules are:

• pitools.camera
• pitools.sensors.bmp085

There is a minimal working flask server in examples/server.py. Install the camera and BMP085 sensor hardware and run sudo python server.py to start it, and visit http://<your_raspberry_pi_IP>:9876/camera/shot for a photo captured, or visit http://<your_raspberry_pi_IP>:9876/sensors/bmp085/all for data from your BMP085 sensor.

Test

Install nosetests and run sudo nosetests -v to see the test result.

pitools's Issues

Config the camera usage

Either to keep the camera running forever (this will make the shot procedure much faster, as there's no need to wait for white balance setting to take effect every time), or to create a new camera instance at every shot (this keeps the energy cost low, but will slow the shot speed).

Take a photo every minute

And encode the whole day into a video everyday.
It'll be fun. :)

Upload daily environment data to LeanCloud

Persist daily environment data into JSON format

Use this service to take photo

But would control camera by root user be a good idea?

Unified code snippet repository

Camera conflict

When a daily shot task is running, there might be a shot request at the same time, and will that result in come kind of hardware conflict?

test

Camera keeps running

The LED is always shining, which means the hardware never stops. This need to be improved.
