Infrared Nerves project

Night Vision

What is this?

Currently, it is a personal project for experimenting with the Raspberry-Pi, Picam, and infrared sensors. For now, it's a great learning tool for myself, but in the future I intend to make this into something more widely applicable for others.

TODO: experiment with GenStages and multiple GenServers to split up work and keep individual state for motion tracking or other image processing tasks**

Targets

Nerves applications produce images for hardware targets based on the MIX_TARGET environment variable. If MIX_TARGET is unset, mix builds an image that runs on the host (e.g., your laptop). This is useful for executing logic tests, running utilities, and debugging. Other targets are represented by a short name like rpi3 that maps to a Nerves system image for that platform. All of this logic is in the generated mix.exs and may be customized. For more information about targets see:

https://hexdocs.pm/nerves/targets.html#content

Getting Started

To start your Nerves app:

  • export MIX_TARGET=my_target or prefix every command with MIX_TARGET=my_target. For example, MIX_TARGET=rpi3
  • Install dependencies with mix deps.get
  • Create firmware with mix firmware
  • Burn to an SD card with mix firmware.burn
