The Crankshaft Management Tool (csmt)

On CS-NG you have a new command via shell called crankshaft

This is a central management tool to setup your system, configure it and setup hardware.

It is also used if you do some setup via settings in gui to have a central way.

Here is an overview of current (1.0.9) available commands. The tool will be continious updated if needed.

If you use it you can do it as normal pi user - no need to use it via sudo cause if needed the tool uses it to execute commands.

Feel free to open feature issues if any problem is happening or new commands are needed to include.

Here are some samples:

crankshaft rtc ds1307 - this will setup your ds1307 real time clock

crankshaft hifiberry dacplus - this will setup your hifiberry dac plus

crankshaft gpio status - This will list the state of configured gpio's used by CS-NG

and so on - i think it will be easy to use.

To get a full list of commands type crankshaft in your shell.
