ENGR 107 Team 2 Rover

ENGR 107 Team 2 Rover Web Interface, to run on a Pi Zero and control the vehicle's motors.

Program Usage

This guide is written for operation on a Pi running Raspbian or Debian, and some commands may need to be substituted on other systems (such as python or py in place of python3)

Requirements: Python 3 and the Python module aiohttp.

(Install these on the Pi using sudo apt install python3, then sudo apt install python3-pip, and finally pip3 install aiohttp)

In a terminal, simply type

$ python3 server.py

Next, navigate with a web browser to <the Pi's IP>:8080, replacing <the Pi's IP> with the IP address of the Pi.

You should find yourself on a webpage with a button. Pressing this will toggle the GPIO pin, which can be used to trigger a relay or other device such as an LED.

Hardware Usage

This program controls GPIO pin 17, which is Pin 11 on the Pi. A helpful guide as to the pins' locations on the board can be found at https://pinout.xyz/.
