creation on one Raspberry Pi of the home VPN server;
installation and setup on the second Raspberry Pi OpenVPN-client, Node.JS and the 3G-modem.
This time we will configure and we will connect the GPS receiver and the Webcam (both devices – USB).
Connection and setup of the GPS receiver
For this purpose I purchased
Let's check whether the device was defined:
Our device — Prolific Technology.
Let's set packets for our device to receive coordinates and we will reboot:
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps -y
sudo reboot
Now we will look and we will see that we load the gpsd service, but without indication of the input device (this option does not work):
Let's disconnect this demon:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd
We answer the first question with "No":
On "No" second too:
It is possible to correct manually file/etc/default/gpsd, but there it is written that it is better to use a packet rekonfigurator that I also made.
Let's start the demon for work with the receiver:
sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
Now we will try to receive coordinates:
Happens that indoors cannot long catch coordinate or at the first start — for acquaintance it is possible to esteem about cold and hot start.
It's cool! Now we will add right start of the demon to automatic loading:
crontab -e
Connection and Webcams setup
Because of speed of the channel I preferred image transfer, but not video.
After search and testing of different packets I stopped on fswebcam by means of which I received the image for couple of seconds.
Let's set and at once we will try to receive a picture:
sudo apt-get install fswebcam -y
fswebcam —save /home/pi/test.png
Let's take away now and we will check:
scp pi@192.168.2.6:/home/pi/test.png ./
Where 192.168.2.6 — the IP address received from server OpenVPN.
