Hardware setup

The project is guaranteed to run with the following hardware:

• a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie-lite
• a MPU-6050 accelerometer (look how to connect on your Pi)
• Jabra conference speaker

It should work also OK with some differences: Raspberry Pi 2 with a WiFi dongle, other accelerometers or other microphones/speakers.

Software setup

To setup an Abigail device for the first time, on the device clone the abigail-device, wifi-setup repositories and execute the setup scripts.

Use the following commands:

sudo apt-get install -y git
git clone https://github.com/project-abigail/abigail-device
git clone https://github.com/project-abigail/wifi-setup
sudo ./abigail-device/bootstrap-scripts/raspberry-pi-setup.sh
sudo ./wifi-setup/setup-scripts/raspberry-pi-setup.sh
(cd abigail-device && npm install)
(cd wifi-setup && npm install)

Note: these scripts take approximately 1.5 hours to execute.

When the scripts are finished executing, run the following command:

sudo raspi-config

and choose 'Advanced Options' and then 'I2C' and then 'Yes' to enable the ARM I2C interface.

Then, reboot the device.

While it reboots, clone the user-setup repository on your laptop:

git clone https://github.com/project-abigail/user-setup/

After rebooting:

• From the laptop, monitor available networks and connect to Abigail wifi setup when it appears in the list
• Run the user-setup script to create users and the family group
  • node user-setup/index.js
• Copy the file containing the device web token to the device:
  • scp user-setup/secret.json [email protected]:~/abigail-device
• Visit http://10.0.0.1 in the browser to connect the device to wifi
• Reboot the device

When the device starts up, you should hear the "hello" greeting.
