textual_clock

The main branch of this repository contains the code for the raspberry as well as the iOS companion application and documentation.

The branches raspberry_xx contain only the code for each raspberry. They are intended to be checked out on the corresponding raspberry. They can diverge but will probably not during normal operation.

Setup of the Raspberry

  1. Install Raspbian image, with Wi-Fi and ssh enabled, with as name textualclock, so that it appears as such on the network.
  2. set your username and pwd
  3. install the stuff in raspberry_install.sh
  4. clone this repo in the home folder
  5. modify /etc/rc.local and add sudo sh /home/<username>/textual_clock/start.sh
  6. setup the scheduled reboot:
    1. execute sudo crontab -e
    2. (select your editor if this is the first time. I advise to use nano)
    3. at the very end of the file, add these two lines to schedule reboot at 11:59am and 11:59pm (here I advise only the midnight one):
      1. 59 11 * * * /sbin/reboot
      2. 59 23 * * * /sbin/reboot
  7. On the raspberry, checkout to the correct raspberry_xx branch.
