This is the repository for Farmpod controller command line interface

Setup

Enable I2C communication first:

~$ sudo raspi-config

A good article about I2C on Raspberry can be found here.

If you use Ubuntu you need to install raspi-config first:

~$ sudo apt update
~$ sudo apt install raspi-config

Make sure you have all tools you need:

~$ sudo apt update
~$ sudo apt-get install git
~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

Usage

Install the command:

~$ git clone https://github.com/SequentMicrosystems/farmpod-rpi.git
~$ cd farmpod-rpi/

Now you can access all the functions of the controller through the command "fpc". Use -h option for help:

~$ fpc -h

If you clone the repository any update can be made with the following commands:
