Create SD Image Version 0.7.4

This page describes how the bootable Raspian-HiveTool image was created. This is for information only. The easiest and best way to install Hivetool is to download the latest image.

0.7.4

Bug Fixes

1. Set GPU_MEM, GPU_MEM_256, GPU_MEM_512, and GPU_MEM_1024 for different Pi models in config.txt. Maybe:

GPU_MEM=64
GPU_MEM_256=64
GPU_MEM_512=128
GPU_MEM_1024=256

2. Put sanity checks, retrying, and error logging in dht22.sh to prevent bad readings from DHT22. See http://hivetool.org/d/comment/151#comment-151 for details.

3, Update the SQL database creation scripts to reflect the new schema with battery voltage.

4. Use hive_stats3wDownload.pl and NOT hive_stats4wDownload.

5. Fix hive config.pl so it will insert a NULL instead on nothing in the hive_parameters table if hive elevation is left blank.

Feature Request

add latest Hive Control software
implement battery voltage monitoring using channel B of HX711, send it to hivetool.net and display it.
add way to upgrade to new images (add database conversion script if necessary).

0.7.3

Bug Fixes

Done replace hx711 and dth22 code with fixed versions.
Done add export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" to hive.sh
Done don't remove python tools when removing bloatware. Keep: wolfram-engine - a scientific platform, Idle and Idle3 - python language editors

Feature Request

Done add Ryans Hive Controller code
Done add xrdp, open62541 packages
Done add Data Acquisition Daemon (DAD) code

Dad supports battery voltage monitoring and the rain gauge.

0.7.2

Done Test most recent raspbian distro Jessie (4.1 Kernel)
Done Removal of bloatware from Raspbian (games, educational, etc.)
Done Hivetool Support Pi & Pi2 (auto detect preferred)
Automatic removal of erroneous data from sensors
Done 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.
Done 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?
Done Enable i2c & serial.

Update the package list and then upgrade the Debian packages (CPU) (includes firmware)

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install packages we need

sudo apt-get -y install gawk bc apache2 libusb-dev libgd-graph-perl libexpat1-dev sqlite3
sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libudev-dev libusb-1

Install HiveTool software

Create symbolic links to the hivetool log files:

sudo ln -s /home/hivetool/hivetool_raw.db /var/www/html
sudo ln -s /home/hivetool/hive.conf /var/www/html
sudo ln -s /home/hivetool/hivetool.log /var/www/html

Patch perl module GD::Graph

The Perl Module, GD::Graph needs a patch to correctly draw a graph with two y axes. Note that the target directory changes with each new perl version. This time it is 5.20.2. Copy the patched file to it's proper location:

sudo cp /home/downloads/axestype.pm /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2/GD/Graph/

Web Server

Configure apache

Link the cgi.load and include.load module to mods-enabled
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgi.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/include.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
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/apache2.conf

In stanza <Directory /var/www/>

change

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

to

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks 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
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

Create a symbolic link to /home/hivetool/hivetool_raw.db from /var/www/html so hive_stats.pl and hive_graphX.pl can access the database:

sudo ln -s /home/hivetool/hivetool_raw.db /var/www/html/

phpLiteAdmin

Install SQLite database administration tools.

sudo apt-get install php5 php5-sqlite
cd /var/www/html
sudo mkdir admin
cd admin
sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/phpliteadmin/public/downloads/phpliteAdmin_v1-9-5.zip
sudo unzip phpliteAdmin_v1-9-5.zip

http://www.raspitux.de/en/using-phpliteadmin-with-raspberry-pi/#respond

sudo cp phpliteadmin.config.sample.php phpliteadmin.config.php
vi phpliteadmin.config.php

change

$directory = '.';

to

$directory = '..';

Install TEMPerHUM software

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev cmake-curses-gui

git clone git://github.com/mushisushi/TEMPered/

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
