Panotech requires a fairly involved hardware setup and as such this installation guide is slightly incomplete as it only details the software configuration. Time allowing, we'll work on a hardware setup guide as well. At the moment though, this mostly serves as a guide for our group.
This project is designed to be run on a Raspberry Pi with an Arduino attached. The Pi subsequentally communicates with the Arduino via its serial port. Make sure you have the included Arduino code loaded onto the Arduino before attempting to do anything.
In order to run this code you'll need to have a couple things installed:
- openCV
- electron
- pyserial
Pyserial can be installed with pip install pyserial. Electron has a
bug for our pi, so in order to install electron, you'll need to
specify the archetecture. Run npm install --arch=armv7l electron.
Finally, installing openCV is a bit of a process and is outside the scope of this installation manual. Googling how to do it is probably your best bet.
This part is pretty simple, run the following two commands in different terminal sessions:
```
$ python3 main.py
$ npm start
```
Boom. Assuming install worked, you should be up and running.
