Hierbij de laatste installatie instructies voor de AllSky software voor de HQ camera (dit keer in het Engels):
Prerequisite RPi 3 or 4 with 16 GB (or greater) memory card and the HQ camera (aka camera V3).
Setup SD card with the Buster NOOB build
Goto: https://www.raspberr…ownloads/noobs/
Choose: NOOBS Lite Network install only and download the zip file.
Copy the content of the ZIP file (so unzipped) onto the SD card.
Put SD card in Raspberry Pi and fire it up…
When starting with Command Line Interface (CLI):
Log in for the first time (pi/raspberry)
Change password to your liking with:
passwd
Configure the Raspberry Pi:
sudo raspi-config
Switch on 5 Interfacing Options->P1 Camera
Optional switch on 5 Interfacing Options->P2 SSH (for ssh access, e.g. with Putty from Windows machine)
Set 7 Advanced Options->Memory Split to 256 MB
Close raspi-config and choose to reboot.
When starting in graphical user interface (GUI):
Answer the localization questions in the dialogues to your liking and change your password.
Start Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration (via the raspberry icon at the left top):
tab System:
– fill in the desired hostname
– select if you want to boot with the graphical (GUI) or command line interface (CLI)
tab Interfaces:
– Switch the camera on
– Optional switch SSH on (for ssh access, e.g. with Putty from Windows machine)
tab Performance:
– set GPU memory on 256 MB
Exit the raspi-config application and choose to reboot when the option is presented.
Continue here regardless if you using the GUI or the command line interface
After booting using the GUI option open terminal window (not needed for command line interface):
Update and upgrade the Raspberry Pi:
sudo rpi-update
(answer with y each time y/n is presented)
reboot with:
sudo shutdown -r 0
When needed open terminal window after the reboot. Continue to ensure the Raspberry Pi is fully up to date with:
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt full-upgrade -y
Ensure in the future your Raspberry Pi automatically updates all packages:
sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades -y
Install AllSky HQ camera version:
We make sure git software is installed to download the software from Github (this step might not be needed, I believe git is already in the latest RPi build).
cd ~
sudo apt-get install git
Now we retrieve the latest AllSky software (with HQ camera support):
<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>git clone </span><span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>https://github.com/RobboRob/allsky.git</span>
Install the Allsky software:
cd ~/allsky
sudo ./install_RPiHQ.sh
(Ignore the 2 compile warnings when compiling sunwait.cpp).
Answer y on the question to reboot and open a terminal windows again after the reboot is finished.
Manual starting image capturing can be started via (but it is also possible to automatically start image capturing after a reboot of the Raspberry Pi). During day time the camera should start to capture images which are stored in ~/allsky/image.jpg and are overwritten each time a new image is taken, during the night they are stored in ~/allsky/images/[date]/.
cd ~/allsky
./allsky_RPiHQ.sh
The web GUI can be installed via:
cd ~/allsky
sudo gui/install_RPiHQ.sh
Test the GUI software using your favorite browser via http://[Raspberry Pi IP address]. Default username and password are: admin / secret. Your Raspberry Pi IP address can be obtained via:
hostname -I
Check and change the default settings in the ~/allsky/config.sh file and, when using the Allsky web GUI via the camera settings page, or if you choose to only use the command line interface option check and alter the settings.json file in the ~/allsky directory.
You should be good to go now!!!
