Seth's tractor bed controller!

Seth's tractor bed logic and controller, MQTT etc

Peripherals

Inputs:

• DHT11 temperature + humidity sensor
• 5 x Push buttons connected directly to RaspberryPi GPIO pins with 10k pullup resistors

Outputs:

• 4 x Status LEDS; 1 green and 3 yellow.
• 8 x 5v powered relays, capable of switching 220v @ 10A
  • 1 x 12v roof amber beacon
  • 2 x 12v LED headlights
  • 4 x 12v LED roof side lights
  • 1 spare relay (wired with 5v out on rear cable)

All outputs are driven using an MCP23017 expander.

HATs:

• Pimoroni SpeakerPhat

RaspberryPi setup

PI zero setup notes:

• Burn raspbian stretch minimal to a micro sd card
• Connect to HDMI + USB
• Login
• Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, add in SSID
• Reboot
• Edit /etc/hostname
• Edit /etc/tractordaemon.conf (see tractordaemon-example.conf in repo)

Setup local Ansible environment, on laptop:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Bootstrap it using the included Ansible playbook:

ssh [email protected] "mkdir .ssh"
scp ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub [email protected]:.ssh/authorized_keys
ansible-playbook -i deploy/hosts deploy/playbooks/tractorbed.yml -u pi -l dev
