Usage

For full setup and usage details, see the Cosmobot Instruction Manual

Pre-reqs

This assumes you are ssh'd into a Raspberry Pi that already has the latest cosmobot image on it (with Python 3.6 already installed).

SSH

Do this by finding the IP of the pi and ssh pi@[IP]

you@yourlaptop ~ $ ssh pi@[IP]

Setup

Depending on what image you have, this might already be done for you.

Clone repo

Clone git repo if it hasn't already been cloned.

Check if it has been cloned - try to cd to ~/cosmobot-run-experiment. If it doesn't exist you will get an error like:

pi@pi-cam-CF60:~ $ cd ~/cosmobot-run-experiment
-bash: cd: /home/pi/cosmobot-run-experiment: No such file or directory

If not, clone the repo:

pi@pi-cam-CF60:~ $ cd ~/
pi@pi-cam-CF60:~ $ git clone [email protected]:OsmoSystems/cosmobot-run-experiment.git

Install package

To use this code to run an experiment on a Raspberry Pi:

1. Navigate to where this repo is installed on the Pi:

pi@pi-cam-CF60:~ $ cd ~/cosmobot-run-experiment/
pi@pi-cam-CF60:~/cosmobot-run-experiment $

2. Get the latest code (as appropriate) using git pull:

pi@pi-cam-CF60:~/cosmobot-run-experiment $ git pull

3. Install the python package. The -e makes it installed "editable", which means that if you later pull new changes in to the repo, they should be automatically picked up.

sudo pip3.6 install -e .

Run

Run your experiment using the run_experiment console script, passing in appropriate args (use --help to see available args).

pi@pi-cam-CF60:~ $ run_experiment --help

Images will be saved in the ~/camera-sensor-output folder and automatically synced to s3.
