cfreeman/hota-alinta

Application for Alinta's installation at HOTA.

HOTA-alinta

This python application uses a webcam and tensorflow to detect the prescence of people. It turns a rasperry pi into an activity sensor that uses relays to trigger other electronic systems.

DEVELOPMENT

Command to start sensor application:

• python3 sensor.py --model=/home/pi/alinta-sensor/detect.tflite --labels=/home/pi/alinta-sensor/coco_labels.txt

TODO

• Two relays instead of one.
• Script / instructions of everything you need to install to get it working.
• Test each of the sensors:
  • Make sure they boot correctly.
  • Copy across python test code.
  • Test to make sure they trigger the encoder correctly.
• Tidy up the sensor code.
  • Define a hotspot region. Only trigger when someone is within a region wihtin the middle of the frame.
  • When someone is detected, have a configurable delay before the relays are turned off.
  • When the application boots up, save the first frame as a debug for configuration purposes.
  • Hang the sensor off my deck and work out how big that region needs to be (for a hooler hoop).
  • Start on raspberry pi boot. systemd.
• Configure the PI to be an access point.
• Label ports.
• Test to make sure no wifi clashses or anything when all six are powered up at the same time.
• Requesting the keys in Alinta's application be updated: x, c, j, k, i, w
• Set everything up in the mac-mini and test it for a long time.
• Test that the encoder connection with the sensors is all working.
• Test to make sure that the system resets correctly on power failure.
• Test long duration (8+ hours)

CONFIG

SD CARD

$ diskutil list $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN $ sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdiskN; sync $ cd /Volume/boot $ vim ssh

SENSORS

1. Boot the pi for the first time:

• Set the location.
• Set the keyboard
• Set the password to one used for HOTA-sensor
• Wait for the pi to run package setup.

2. Open a terminal:

• sudo raspi-config
• Enable camera: 3 - Interface options, P1 Camera, enable
• reboot

3. Install application dependancies:

• pip3 install virtualenv Pillow numpy pygame
• pip3 install https://github.com/google-coral/pycoral/releases/download/release-frogfish/tflite_runtime-2.5.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_armv7l.whl

4. Setup ssh keys:

• mkdir .ssh
• chmod 700 .ssh
• sudo apt-get install vim
• cd .ssh
• vim authorized_keys

5. copy code across.

6. Configure networking

• ./network.sh

7. Setup sensor to run as a systemd service

• cd alinta-sensor
• sudo cp sensor.service /lib/systemd/system/sensor.service
• sudo systemctl enable sensor.service
• sudo systemctl start sensor.service
• sudo systemctl status sensor.service

MAC MINI

• Notifications - Do Not Disturb - Always On.
• Users & Groups - Login Options - Automatic login.
• Users * Groups - hota-cg1 - login items - add startup app.
• Dock & Menu Bar - automatically hide and show the dock.
• Energy Saver - Never turn display off.
• Energy Saver - Start up automatically after a power failiure.
• Desktop & Screen Saver - Screen Saver - Start after - never.
• Desktop & Screen Saver - Desktop - Colours - black.
• ?? Configure the mini so that it reboots each night. ??

FAILURE MODES

• If the screensaver kicks in, the keyboard becomes unresponsive in Alinta's application.
• Maybe have a script that checks the content of the python app on boot. If it's corrupted, copy across from a backup.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TBD.
