reelyactive/pi-suite

Enable context-aware physical spaces with a Raspberry Pi and Pareto Anywhere open source software. We believe in an open Internet of Things.

pi-suite

Conveniently install and run the reelyActive open source software suite on a Raspberry Pi. The advent of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) on the Raspberry Pi 3B made it possible to run our software to detect and identify all advertising devices in proximity, which was featured in Hackaday in 2016.

Then and Now

Our open source software has evolved since the Hackaday article:

• Version 1.x is featured here and is the recommended option
• Version 0.x which was featured in the article can be found in the release-0.2 branch and is considered legacy

Install and Run

Follow our step-by-step tutorials to prepare a Pi from scratch and install pi-suite:

• Prepare a Raspberry Pi from scratch
• Install our open source software suite on a Pi

Alternatively, if all prerequisites are indeed in place, getting up and running for the first time should be as easy as:

git clone https://github.com/reelyactive/pi-suite.git
cd pi-suite
npm install
npm start

Can't play video in google slide

Loading google slide presentation with single slide with a video. The presentation and video are shared properly. From my workstation using chrome in incognito mode it plays fine. But using the pi-suite kiosk script. I get "Unable to play video. Error 5" If I change it to static slides it works fine. Not even sure where to begin troubleshooting this. Here's what I'm using to run chromium.
chromium-browser --display=:0 --kiosk --incognito --window-position=0,0 --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --enable-logging=stderr --v=1 > chromium_log.txt 2>&1 "url_for_presentation"

Error start pi-suite-hci.service

Environment Raspberry Pi 4B
Fresh install of Raspberry OS Lite

Clone and ran pi-suite from the command-line: sudo npm run start-hci
It works fine.

However once I add the service to systemd, it fails to start:

Assume it is something with permissions?

Cannot see any bluetooth devices

Hi!

I've installed the software on a RPI 3 b+ succesfully, but when I launch with "npm run start-reel" I get the following error:
barnowl-reel: error opening serial port Error Resource temporarily unavailable Cannot lock port

And no devices are shown under Tracking :( not sure how to solve this problem. Thanks for any help!

Setup of pi-suite on pi zero w with Raspbian Jessie

I'm trying to setup pi-suite on my pi zero w as described here. At first installation failed on bluetooth-hci-socket which bailed out with some permission problems during installation. It seemed --unsafe-perm fixed the problem, but in the end something seems missing. When starting pi-suite it fails with this error:

Can you please help me debug this issue?
