Feature Request
- Most recent raspbian distro
- Removal of bloatware from Raspbian (games, educational, etc.)
- Hivetool Support Pi & Pi2 (auto detect preferred)
- Automatic removal of erroneous data from sensors
- Basic navigation from webserver index.html, especially config.pl and Hivestats with download.
- Menu driven selection & configuration of sensors (gpio 2,3 for DHT22s preassigned by menu default)
- Menu driven setup of essential parameters with choices that don't crash app when saving, grey out unused.
- Sensor calibration provisions (gain, offset)
- Display instantaneous sensor readings from config screen with read button
- Preload & configure Apache Webserver and database, Hivetool, sensor drivers for proven sensors.
- Update local & online hivestats graphs to display lux trend pen, (use latest hivestats with enhanced autoscaling for local)
- Network / wifi support out of the box seems to work well now, handle configuration on router side with DHCP reservation as may be needed.
- Add configuration menu item for naming pi, same as hivestats name?
- Minimize need to enter Raspiconfig, can timezone and time all be handled in hivetool config?
- Enable i2c & serial.
Bug Fixes
- Add timeout to crontab so hive.sh can't hang.
- Fix HX711 code addressing and timing to work on Pi2.
- Fix tempered code to work with new TEMPerHUMs.
- Improve Wi-Fi auto reconnect.
Create new image
Get latest Wheezy image
- Download, unzip, burn image.
- Boot
- DO NOT EXPAND file syatem!
Set up Wi-Fi
1. Add your network information to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. For an unencrypted open network with an ESSID of dlink:
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf network={ ssid="dlink" key_mgmt=NONE auth_alg=OPEN }
2. Wi-Fi auto reconnect to AP
Go to /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ and copy the ifupdown file to ifupdown.org
cp /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown.org
Then copy the ifupdown.sh script provided with wpa supplicant to /etc/ifplugd/action.d/
cp /etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown

Remove packages we don't need
This will make room for software without expanding the image.
sudo apt-get remove --purge wolfram-engine penguinspuzzle scratch dillo squeak-vm squeak-plugins-scratch sonic-pi idle idle3 netsurf-gtk netsurf-common sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get clean rm -rf /home/pi/python_games sudo rm -rf /opt/minecraft-pi
https://project.altservice.com/issues/418 NO! Don't do this if you want to use the video camera: sudo rm -rf /opt/vc
Install packages we need
sudo apt-get -y update sudo apt-get -y install gawk bc apache2 libusb-dev libgd-graph-perl libexpat1-dev sqlite3 sudo cpan GD::Text GD::Graph Date::Format XML::Simple DBI DBD::SQLite
Patch perl module GD::Graph
The Perl Module, GD::Graph needs a patch to correctly draw a graph with two y axes.
/usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/GD/Graph/axestype.pm
Web Server
Configure apache
- Add .pl to AddHandler cgi-script
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf
- uncomment #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi (around line 219) and add .pl so it looks like:
- AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
- add Includes and +ExecCGI to Options:
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
- In stanza <Directory /var/www/>
- change
- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
- to
- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes +ExecCGI
- Add index.shtml to DirectoryIndex:
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
- Change
- DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
- to
- DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm index.shtml
- Copy the include.load module to enable it
- sudo cp /etc/apache2/mods-available/include.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
- Set up apache to listen on port 8080 if using port forwarding:
- sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf
- add Listen 8080
- Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart or sudo/etc/rc4.d/S02apache2 restart
Set sudo user privileges for Apache
This is necessary to allow config.pl to read the sensors. Run visudo to edit the sudo config file:
sudo visudo
and insert this line in the "User privilege specification" section:
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/2591, /usr/bin/nice, /home/hivetool/temperhum.sh, /usr/local/bin/hx711, /usr/local/bin/Seeed_DHT22
Create SQLite database
cd /home/hivetool sqlite3 hivetool_raw.db sqlite> .read create_hivetool_sqlite.sql sqlite> .quit
Make it writable or config.pl will fail to save to the database.
sudo chmod a+w /home/hivetool/hivetool_raw.db sudo chmod a+w /home/hivetool
Install TEMPerHUM software
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev cmake-curses-gui
cd /home/downloads sudo git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi cd hidapi sudo ./bootstrap sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install
cd ..
#sudo git clone git://github.com/edorfaus/TEMPered #cd TEMPered
sudo git clone https://github.com/rcrum003/TEMPered-v6-2015 cd TEMPered-v6-2015 sudo ccmake .
Then the sub commands: "c" to configure then "g" to save and go
sudo make sudo make install
Add /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ to /etc/ld.so.conf
sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf
So it looks like this:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
Run ldconfig to pick up the new libraries
sudo ldconfig
