Walle Capstone Project

This is a backup of the walle capstone project code written by Gavin Andres for the club sponsored outreach project. The ME's working on the project didn't have backups anywhere so I am doing this here.

Setup

1. Clone the repo using git (git clone https://github.com/Cardinal-Space-Mining/WalleCapstoneProject.git)

2. Make sure python virtual environment support is installed. (sudo apt install python3-venv)

3. Create virtual environment (python3 -m venv .venv)

4. Activate virtual environment (source ./.venv/bin/activate)

5. Install necessary libraries (pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt)

Running

1. Source venv (source ./.venv/bin/activate)

2. Run code (python3 ./walle/walle.py)

Auto-Running

It is meant to be run on a Rasbery PI. An easy way to set that up is to disable RPI signin, and call the main file from ~/.bashrc

In this case, the code is as follows:

WalleDir='/home/pi/WalleCapstoneProject'
${WalleDir}/.venv/bin/python3 ${WalleDir}/walle/walle_new.py

Just paste it at the end of your ~/.bashrc changing WalleDir to be the absolute path to the cloned repo. Note, the setup instructions must be completed first.
