Mabasej_Team

We are working on system, that will help tourists in cities to get information about city more easily.

Hardware

Raspberry PI (for now tested only on rpi4. Works on rpi zero too, but it will be slow if more devices are connected)
External/Internal WiFi antena

Software

python 3.9.2 compatible server with basic web interface
Kotlin based mobile app

Install

Wikispot is in testing stages, but it is possible to install it using our .img file (link coming soon) based on DietPi or custom script.

Device	Server compatible	Instalation
Ubuntu (I7, 16GB ram)	✔️ WORKING (Only server)	Manual/script
RPI 4b (2GB)	✔️ WORKING	.img/script
RPI 400 (4GB)	❔ Untested. Should work.	.img/script
RPI 3b+	❔ Untested. Should work.	.img/script
RPI zero w	✅ Working with fewer devices (Only server. No AP, Computer vision)	.img/script
RPI 2	❓ Untested.	❌
RPI	❓ Untested.	❌

Fresh istall (.img) Only RPI

login: dietpi

password: WikiSpot2021

requirements:

WikiSpot image file (download: soon)
MicroSd card (recommended: >=16GB, ❗ ALL DATA STORED ON SD CARD WILL BE FORMATED ❗)
BalenaEtcher (or another sd card flasher) link: https://www.balena.io/etcher/
SD card reader

Install:

Download all required files (wikispot.img and balenaetcher) and install BalenaEtcher
Insert SD card into computer/reader, open BalenaEtcher -> chose Flash from file -> chose downloaded wikispot.img -> Select your sd in Select target -> Flash!
❗ WINDOWS will show unformated drive. Cancel it. It is because of uncompatible format for windows ❗
After flashing open partition boot (should apear as USB), find file dietpi.txt and open it in text editor.
- Accept license by changing AUTO_SETUP_ACCEPT_LICENSE=0 to AUTO_SETUP_ACCEPT_LICENSE=1
- Change name of WikiSpot AUTO_SETUP_NET_HOSTNAME=WikiSpot-CHANGE_ME by changing only CHANGE_ME
- You can set static ip address by changing AUTO_SETUP_NET_USESTATIC=0 to AUTO_SETUP_NET_USESTATIC=1 And entering your setting into required lines.
- If you want to use computer vision plugin with rpi camera set ENABLE_COMPUTER_VISION_PLUGIN=0 to ENABLE_COMPUTER_VISION_PLUGIN=1 (*recommended only on RPI4)
- If you want to use RPI as access point to WikiSpot change #AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=60 to AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=60
- wifi setup in testing
❕For advanced users❕ You can now change contens of WikiSpot server in /boot/WikiSpotaccording to an example in server filesystem
Eject sd card from computer, insert it in Raspberry Pi and power it on. ‼️Raspberry Pi needs to be connected to intenet via Ethernet (wifi coming soon) othervise the setup will crash.
The setup will take approximately 25-40 min (RPI 4b (2gb) and 70 mb download speed)
Done you can start using WikiSpot and edit contents of WikiSpot with our app (coming soon)

Script install

coming soon

Manual install

To manualy add new file to server (on setup or via ssh) add file to server_directory/files and add record for file into files list in filesystem.json. ❗do not forget "," after last record❗


    {
      "name": "new_file_name",
      "format": ".txt",
      "description": "This is how you add new file"
    }

settings.json

{
  "time_to_heartbeat": 20,                # Time to ping of another online servers in seconds
  "time_to_heartbeat_offline": 25,        # Time to ping of another offline servers in seconds

    "print_warning": true,                # Print warnings into console (if running as service into linux log)
    "save_message": false,                # Save messages (new server, etc. not messages from  clients) into log.txt

    "ID": [],
    "IP": [],
    "location": [],
    "file_system": [],
    "last_heartbeat": []
  }
}

If you want to manually add server on first setup or via ssh fill heartbeat table like this.

"heartbeat_table": {                    # Saved servers
    "ID": [1],                          # ID of server as integer (number)
    "IP": ["192.168.1.2"],              # IP of server as string
    "location": [""],                   # Empty string as placeholder. location will be downloaded after first connection
    "file_system": [""],                # Empty string as placeholder. filesystem will be downloaded after first connection
    "last_heartbeat": [10]              # After how many seconds will server try to connect for the first time
  }

‼️If the server will be offline for long time (heartbeat + offline heartbeat) it will be removed from heartbeat table. If the save function is disabled server will trying to connect after restart‼️
