Minion 3 Install Instructions

Prepare a fresh install of raspbian on micro-sd card:

  https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/

  I highly recomend the raspberry pi foundation's rpi-imager

Power Pi via micro-USB

 At this stage you should have:

• SD card in Pi
• Wired LAN
• Keyboard/Mouse
• Monitor
• No HAT

Follow on screen instructions

 Install raspbian as normal

 Choose any password for the device

 Skip wireless setup

 When prompted, update the computer

 Allow it to reboot

Clone Repo and Install

 Once the Pi reboots, open a terminal and type this command to download the repo:

~$ sudo git clone https://github.com/ErranSousa/Minion_3.git

 Now navigate into the folder and begin the install process:

~$ cd Minion_3/

~/Minion/$ sudo python Minion_install.py

 Assign the device with an IP address between 2 and 250

 Enter [Y] to enable debug mode

 Enter [N] to choose to have files saved to the Desktop

 Allow the installer to finish and it will turn the Pi off

 Disconnect USB power from the Pi

 Finally power on the Minion_Hub and Master_Hub

Attach HAT and power 12V via the 4 pin JST

 The Pi will boot up and complete it's installation (setting the clock)

 Then the Pi will reboot

 Once the Pi reboots you may disconnect the LAN network cable

Test if the Minion is working

 Connect to the Minion_Hub with your cell phone or another computer:

 Open a brouser and type the IP of the Minion

 (i.e. 192.168.0.XXX)

 If you are greeted with a website then you did it!
