Revisions for Pi Builder

7 CURRENT	warren	March 27, 2019 19:03 \| over 4 years ago Documentation for the Pi Builder software; see more at https://github.com/publiclab/pi-builder Using Pi Builder, you can download a premade SD card image to use your Pi as a WiFi streaming camera, a timelapse camera, an Infragram camera, and much more! Read the introductory blog post here Pi Builder is used in the following projects: Community Microscope Kit Lego Spectrometer Kit Infragram Pi Camera Kit (above!) Download Get the most standard `pi-builder` SD card image here, which creates a WiFi network called `00-PiCamera` with password `publiclab`, and includes Infragram, Image Sequencer, and camera access (with timelapse): https://github.com/publiclab/pi-builder/pull/53 Connecting Once you assemble and plug in your Pi with the provided SD card (or flash your own from one of the recipes here): wait 3-5 minutes for it to start up connect to the `00-PiCamera` wifi network with password `publiclab` wait for the popup prompt, or use `Click to log in to this network`, or if nothing happens, go to http://pi.local (NOT `https`, sorry!) and you'll see the welcome page. If this doesn't work, please post a question below! Video quality The streaming video you see in the web interfaces is not the highest quality available; to change it, click `Camera settings` at the `http://pi.local/cam/` page, and change the `Wi` value to something higher like `1024`. It can in theory go as high as `1980`, but I think streaming at high framerates at this resolution is probably tough for your Pi. New recipes To create a new recipe on Pi Builder, see the GitHub repository (and readme file) here: https://github.com/publiclab/pi-builder There you can look at proposed recipes, open an issue, or start developing your own recipe by opening a pull request, which will begin auto-building your image each time you push a commit.
