||
| ## Getting Started | ||
|
|
||
| This project contains the tutorial files for EasyProgramming.net. | ||
|
|
||
| If you've followed my other tutorials, browser control should be something that is familiar to you. The requirements below should also be very familiar: | ||
|
|
||
| ### Hardware | ||
|
|
||
| In order to complete this project, you will need some of these hardware: | ||
|
|
||
| * [ ] Raspberry Pi - can use Zero, Zero W, 2, 3, 4 | ||
| * [ ] *(Optional)* Wireless dongle - If you are using the basic Pi 0 v1.3. This is not necessary for the other versions of the Pi. | ||
| * [ ] RGBW LED Strip - These normally have 5 connections, One for each color and an additional for Ground. | ||
| * [ ] Pi Power Supply - need 5V to your Pi | ||
| * [ ] LED Strip Power Supply - 12V power adapter passing 1-2 Amps of current will be sufficient. This should also work with a 24V LED Strip. | ||
| * [ ] Logic Level MOSFET Transistor - I use MOSFETS for this project. They can be any logic-level transistor (most of them start with IRL - the L is for 'logic'). | ||
| It just needs to be able to turn on with 5v or less of power. | ||
| * [ ] Wiring - You need 5 wires to connect the LEDs and Ground. You can find adapters or you can use individual wires. | ||
| * [ ] *(Optional)* Aluminum Extrusion - although not necessary, an aluminum extrusion will help dissipate heat as well as make your installation more sturdy. | ||
| * [ ] *(Optional)* Pi Case - Something to house your Pi and Relay. You can make your own or if you want, you can just leave it as is but be careful of shorts | ||
| and electric shocks! | ||
| * [ ] *(Optional)* Soldering Iron - if you are comfortable, it is best to solder the lights and connections in place so they don't disconnect easily. | ||
| * [ ] Tools - a wire cutter/stripper would be most helpful to you. | ||
|

||
| ### Prerequisites | ||
| The prerequisites for this tutorial is the same as the last because everything in this tutorial is the end product of what we've learned so far about | ||
| the Raspberry Pi and some things we learned with JavaScript and jQuery. If you get stuck anywhere, take a look at these tutorials: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. [Headless Raspberry Pi](https://www.easyprogramming.net/raspberrypi/headless_raspbery_pi.php) | ||
| 2. Previously we needed RPi.GPIO library, for this, we need pigpiod - More info at http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpiod.html | ||
| 3. [Run Apache on your Pi](https://www.easyprogramming.net/raspberrypi/pi_apache_web_server.php) | ||
| 4. [Running a Flask App on your Pi](https://www.easyprogramming.net/raspberrypi/pi_flask_app_server.php) | ||
| 5. [Run Flask behind Apache](https://www.easyprogramming.net/raspberrypi/pi_flask_apache.php) | ||
| 6. [Simple AJAX with jQuery/JavaScript](https://www.easyprogramming.net/jQuery/get_data_ajax_method.php) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Installation | ||
|
|
||
| Follow the tutorial here to learn how to run a Flask app behind Apache: https://www.easyprogramming.net/raspberrypi/pi_flask_apache.php | ||
|
|
||
| As stated in the above tutorial and in the [Prerequisites](#prerequisites), here's a very quick checklist for this project: | ||
|
|
||
| * [ ] Apache | ||
| * [ ] venv (virtual environment) | ||
| * [ ] `activate-this.py` inside your venv | ||
| * [ ] Mod-WSGI [More info below](#apche-and-wsgi) | ||
| * [] `pigpiod` | ||
|
|
||
| Since we are running `pigpiod` from a virtual environment, we need to install it in our venv: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| wget abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpio.zip | ||
| unzip pigpio.zip | ||
| cd PIGPIO | ||
| make | ||
| sudo make install | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| I will also include a version of the app in this repo as a backup. | ||
