Setup with RP4, using Raspbian with Desktop

This Manual should guide you through a setup using a Windows PC to prepare the Raspberry Pi Image and then successfully start autodarts. Its a fairly simple manual and you have to connect a Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse to your Raspberry to properly set it up.But you can disconnect it from your PC and put it over to the Raspberry if you don't have a second set of theese, you won't need it at the same time.

Let's a go!

Needed:

Physical

  • Windows PC
  • Raspberry Pi (4) / *Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse
    • with connected Cameras to USB
  • SD Card
  • Card Reader

Virtual

Prepare SD Card:

  • Put your SD Card in the Card Reader and connect it to your Windows PC
  • Open Raspberry Pi Imager

  • Click on OS and select topmost option "Raspberry PI OS (32-bit)

  • Click on SD-Card and select your SD-Card-Drive
  • for most of the time you only should see one drive to select

  • Hit write!

This takes about 5 minutes, depending on your SD-Card and Card-Reader and if finished should tell you to take out the SD-Card

  • Now you can insert it to your Raspberry Pi and fire it up.

Prepare Linux Desktop:

  • When your Raspberry Pi has started its greeting you with a friendly Setup-Wizard

  • Make your way through this wizard and select your Wifi-Connection. Updates are not Mandatory at this point, as it would take some time and is not needed.
  • Also you CAN change your Password, but unless you are sure how to use Linux and its console i would recommend to leave it as it is.

  • After finishing the Setup-Wizard its absolutely mandatory to enable SSH first. This will be your connection to your Windows PC
  • For this click on the Raspberry-Menu and got to "Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration"
  • In the configuration Window go to the "Interfaces"-Tab and enable SSH and if you like VNC
    • VNC is a virtual Desktop environment to be used with Windows aka : nice to have feature

  • Now you have finished your Linux and are able to control it from your Windows PC, or you can continue on this Raspberry Desktop
  • As this is the Desktop Guide it continues on the Raspberry Pi Desktop

Console work:

  • Open up your Console / Command Prompt. Its the black little Button on the Start-Bar

  • It will open up and show you this prompt (depending on your username, if you had changed while setup)

Install OpenCV:

  • Thanks to this Guide i just had to copy it. Shame on me
  • with open console type in, or copy over:

Download the .deb package from releases page of the repository:

wget https://github.com/prepkg/opencv-raspberrypi/releases/latest/download/opencv.deb

Execute the following command to install OpenCV:

sudo apt install -y ./opencv.deb

We can run opencv_version command to check version of OpenCV:

opencv_version

The .deb package is no longer needed, you can remove it:

rm -rf opencv.deb
  • You have successfully installed OpenCV ( Ai - Camera - Future Shit)
  • Next step is to install some USB - Utilities

Install v4l-utils (and get your Camera-ID's):

  • Open up your console and enter
sudo apt-get install v4l-utils

  • after installing this you can list your USB-devices with the following command
v4l2-ctl --list-devices

  • Note down the first entry below your 3 cameras
    • In my case it's Video0 / Video 4 / Video2
    • Theese are your Camera ID's for later configuration in Board Manager

Get Autodarts running

  • Now your are ready to get the Autodarts - File
  • Assuming you get your OK from the developer you should have the Download-Link
    • Otherwise contribute in the Discord Server and call out in the specific Channel that you are ready to go
    • You then will get the Download Link and your User-Credentials (aka: Board-ID and API-Key)
  • In the console type follwing command to donwload the File:
wget *DOWNLAODLINK*
  • Then unzip it with the following command:

Important to change the specific filename if the version Changes!!!

sudo unzip autodarts-0.15.5-pi-armv7l.zip -d /usr/local/bin/
  • Create User-rights for Autodarts
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/autodarts
  • And now Finally:
autodarts

Cheering up - it's running!
