SoftWEAR firmware

This firmware is supposed to be runing on a BeagleBone Green wireless. Its perpose is to help you to connect and see sensors connected to the board through a simple interface for now.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

For the firmeware to run you will need:

• Beaglebone Green wireless
• PC or Mac with Python 3 installed
• USB micro to A cable
• Micro SD card with a way to write it on the PC
• Sensors that you want to have on the board

Installing and setup of the BBGW

Download and falsh the "debian 8.10" image from the Beaglebone image repo. To flash it onto the board.

We the flash is done, plug your beaglebone to a PC with the power USB cable and access it with SSH

ssh [email protected]

Connect the board to a accessible network (with only a password and not a username/password combo. E.g. a wifi hotsport on you smartphone) by following the "ConnectWifi.pdf" guide in "Manual"

Then make sure to do an update

sudo apt-get update

You will now need to clone this repository into your beaglebone in order to install everything.

git clone https://github.com/medioman22/Wearable-Software.git

Installing all the packages in you BBGW from the repo

In order for the code on the beaglebone to run properly. It will need to have some packages installed. To do so you can use the provided script in the repository that you just download. To run it use

install_package.sh  (not yet implemented in the repo)

Installing all the packages in you BBGW manually

Or you can manually install the packages

List of packages used

• Adafruit_Python_GPIO
• Serial

To install the Adafruit_Python_GPIO one, click on the name to follow the instruction in ther github page. To install the other package, use

sudo pip install serial

You will also need to have the Firmware/src folrder of the firmware to by copied to you beaglebone. In order to do so you can clone the repository as explain before or use a FTP connection.Filezilla could be usefull. To connect with a FTP client, use the SSH port 192.168.7.2 the username debian the password temppwd (if not changed from the default beaglebone image one) and port 22.

Installing and setup of the PC

On the PC, you will need to have Python 3.5 or above installed as well as some pakages

pip install pyqt5
pip install pyqtgraph

Deployment

Add additional notes about how to deploy this on a live system

Known issue

• The BNO055 sensor is not able to run on the NDOF mode from the interface. To do so you need to change the initial mode of initialization of the sensor in the Firmware/src/drivers/I2C_BNO055.py from 0 to 11 in the init function.
