+# Sitting Desktop Garden Readme
+
+
+{width=10%}\
+
+
+The **Sitting Desktop Garden** (SDG) is a cute and customisable artificial potted plant for the home office desk. It monitors the user's posture, providing gentle reminders and gamified incentives to maintain a healthy sitting position as you work. Reminders are delivered through haptic feedback in a vibrating mousepad, which is non-intrusive to the user's workflow, and demonstrating consistently good posture unlocks more beautiful plant growth.
+
+For users setting up a Raspberry Pi for use in the SDG, see [Deployment](#deployment).
+
+---
+## Dependencies
+The main project dependencies are specified in [pyproject.toml](./pyproject.toml). Notably:
+- [mediapipe](https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/guide) provides the body landmark detection model.
+- [piicodev](https://pypi.org/project/piicodev/) provides modules for interfacing with Raspberry Pi peripherals.
+- [face-recognition](https://pypi.org/project/face-recognition/) provides the face recognition model.
+
+## Hardware Set-up
+{width=40%}\
+
+The following materials are required to construct this project.
+
+- 1x Raspberry Pi 3B
+- 1x PiicoDev Adapter for Raspberry Pi
+- 2x PiicoDev Connector 100mm, 1x PiicoDev Connector 200mm, 1x PiicoDev Connector 50mm
+- 1x Raspberry Pi Camera Module
+- 1x Vibrating Motor Disk
+- 2x USB-C Power Supplis
+- 1x PiicoDev Servo Driver, 1x PiicoDev OLED Display, 2x PiicoDev Button
+- 1x FS90R Servo.
+
+The above wiring diagram shows how to connect these components. The components must be connected before turning on the Pi for the first time.
+
+## Deployment
+### Single command all-in-one
+To set up the Pi's environment, deploy the code base, and start the program follow the following steps.
+
+1. Flash an SD card with a fresh installation of the 64bit Raspberry Pi OS using the [official imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/). When imaging the SD card you must turn on the SSH connections in the edit OS settings menu.
+
+2. Plug the SD card into the Pi and turn it on. Wait for the green light to stop flashing before going to step 3.
+3. Clone this git directory to your computer.
+
+4. From the base directory of the project run,
+```
+./run.sh [Pi Hostname/IP] [Pi Username]
+```
+If you do not have `sshpass` installed this may prompt for the Pi's password many times.
+
+5. The above command will take a while.
+
+Sometimes DLib will not compile the first time. If this occurs please run the above command again.
+
+### Pi Environment Set-up
+You can set up the Pi's environment by following steps 1,2, and 3 of the above instructions. and then running.
+```bash
+scripts/bootstrap.sh [Pi Hostname/IP] [Pi Username]
+```
+
+### Deploy codebase
+You can deploy the codebase by running
+```bash
+cd scripts
+./deploy.sh ../deploypaths.txt [Pi Hostname/IP] [Pi Username]
+```
+
+### Run Program
+You can start up the program by running
+```bash
+cd scripts
+./ssh [Pi Username]@[Pi Hostname/IP] 'bash -s' < run_garden.sh
+```
