Setup a Raspberry Pi for long term measurements

Short tutorial about installing GPIB on a Raspberry Pi

The purpose of this repository is to prepare a Raspberry Pi as a GPIB controller and make this as easy as possible. The provided installation bash script will install the following things:

• linux-gpib
• PyVISA for Python3
• Driver for Agilent 82357A (Agilent 82357B)
• support for NI GPIB-USB-HS
• VXI11 Server (poor mans Agilent E5810A GPIB to Ethernet Bridge https://github.com/PhilippCo/python-vxi11-server)
• Testgear lib (https://github.com/PhilippCo/testgear)
• Jupyter Lab as a Service (Passwort: 1281)

The linux-gpib setup is based on MiDis description on the EEVBlog Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/raspberry-pi23-logging-platform-for-voltnuts/msg2008349/#msg2008349

install Raspbian

Install Raspberry Pi Image

Since some time the default user isn't 'pi' anymore. But a lot of scripts rely on paths for this user. Therefore, it is absolutely neccessary to use the username pi!

Update Raspbian and install everything you need

log in via ssh or console and just copy and paste these lines one after the other

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-kernel && sudo apt-get -y install raspberrypi-kernel-headers git && echo 'arm_64bit=0' | sudo tee -a /boot/firmware/config.txt

sudo reboot

After reboot log in again and paste this:

mkdir ~/repos && cd ~/repos && git clone https://github.com/PhilippCo/meas_rpi.git && meas_rpi/install.sh

Error when installing

when installing, i have errors:

Errors because no user 'Pi'

Recently there has been a change for the user not to default to Pi, so some of your scripts fail because they refer to files being saved in folders that don't exist.

node.js setup 14.x Depreciated

Line 154 curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
Line 155 sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh

Gives me the warning,

                              DEPRECATION WARNING

  Node.js 14.x is no longer actively supported!

  You will not receive security or critical stability updates for this version.

  You should migrate to a supported version of Node.js as soon as possible.
  Use the installation script that corresponds to the version of Node.js you
  wish to install. e.g.

   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x — Node.js 16 "Gallium"
   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x — Node.js 18 LTS "Hydrogen" (recommended)
   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_19.x — Node.js 19 "Nineteen"
   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x — Node.js 20 "Iron" (current)

  Please see https://github.com/nodejs/Release for details about which
  version may be appropriate for you.

  The NodeSource Node.js distributions repository contains
  information both about supported versions of Node.js and supported Linux
  distributions. To learn more about usage, see the repository:

/boot/config.txt move to /boot/firmware/config.txt

after upgrade, /boot/config.txt has move to /boot/firmware/config.txt, so upgrade command need some change. my device PI 3B.
