Auto start a Python service on beaglebone angustrom

after making several python web service, I wish to have the web service starts when power on beaglebone, this link is the reference:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11152657/angstrom-start-up-processes-beaglebone





example:
Go in to /lib/systemd/system/ and open  the bone101.service, this is a service file for 101 stuff.
so we have to create our service

I have a PyBBIO web service stuff named as u4glass_tank.py
saved as glass_tank.service

[Unit]
Description=Python glass tank web service

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/root/PyBBIO/examples
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python u4glass_tank.py

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Then go to terminal do the following:
systemctl enable glass_tank.service

To start the service, you can reboot or execute

systemctl start glass_tank.service
To check if the service is running and get the latest outputs from the script:

root@beaglebone:~# systemctl status glass_tank.service

in terminal it would return like this:


glass_tank.service - glasstank web service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/glass_tank.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:28:44 +0000; 5 months and 17 days ago
Main PID: 332 (python)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/glass_tank.service
â 332 /usr/bin/python u4glass_tank.py
â 334 /usr/bin/python u4glass_tank.py


if we wish to remove this service from startup list,use following command:
systemctl disable glass_tank.service

terminal would return rm '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/glass_tank.service'

if you check with systemctl status glass_tank.service, ou will find the service is still running.
to stop the service right away, you will need:
systemctl stop glass_tank.service

then, check again with systemctl status glass_tank.service, you will see it's stopped.


When working with new beaglebone black with debian, I met some problem, that the service is loaded, but not active, it's always shown dead

Heltec ESP32+OLED+Lora, hardware testing

圖片
you can easily find some good boards from china, but most of them lack of accurate document... Hrere is an example; https://hackaday.io/project/26991-esp32-board-wifi-lora-32 the board looks good with lora and a 128x64 OLED, but the IIC and reset connection is important, since pin can be muxing easily, so every board could be different. pinMode(16,OUTPUT);  digitalWrite(16, LOW); // set GPIO16 low to reset OLED  delay(50);  digitalWrite(16, HIGH); // while OLED is running, must set GPIO16 to high  and, if needed, edit your Wire.begin() to Wire.begin(4,15); (4 = SDA 15 SCL)  i tested it with the Adafruit SSD1306 and the Acrobotics SSD1306 Librarys  both work.  Display size is 128x64 There are discussions on these boards on TＴＮ as a LORA node..or maybee single ch gateway? Heltec has a git :  https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee And there is another copy call TTGO https://de.aliexpress.com/item/TTGO-LORA32-868-915-Mhz-SX1276-ESP32-Oled-display-Bluetooth-WIFI

micro SD card for ESP32, on lolin32 with OLED and heltec 32 lora oled

圖片
I have purchased 2 micro SD card holder for my esp project. First I would like to test with heltec esp32 lora oled module. this module uses: sck=05 MISO=19 MOSI=27 SS(lora)=18, then I assigned 21 for sd SS and there is a lib in esp32-arduino, which use SS default at 5 I took the example and use SD.begin(21), but I alway get the error: entry 0x40078a9c Card Mount Failed But I do saw once that it read out the sd card type and volume. Not sure it's the issue of lora sd card swithing, or it just can't work. The other esp32 card I have is an wemos esp32 oled, it did not leave me too much pins, I need to find out how to connect sd to it. But I have wemos D1 mini esp8266 on hand, and connect it as:  * The WeMos Micro SD Shield uses:  * D5, D6, D7, D8, 3V3 and G  *  * The shield uses SPI bus pins:  * D5 = CLK  * D6 = MISO  * D7 = MOSI  * D8 = CS It's not working with the example in the arduino IDE 1.8.5, which marked SD(esp8266), but it w

AIS0. understanding AIS NMEA 0183: How it's coded

For my boat tracking system, I found out that using AIS format seems to be a good idea, at least I don't have to worry about how to present boat data, since there are already plenty things for do this on mobile phone or PC. Here is what I read: http://catb.org/gpsd/AIVDM.html Looking into AIS NMEA0183, it has much more application then I think. Such as MOB device, epir, aid to navigation device...etc, all are included. it use the first few char to indicate the function: Table 1. AIS talker IDs !AB NMEA 4.0 Base AIS station !AD MMEA 4.0 Dependent AIS Base Station !AI Mobile AIS station !AN NMEA 4.0 Aid to Navigation AIS station !AR NMEA 4.0 AIS Receiving Station !AS NMEA 4.0 Limited Base Station !AT NMEA 4.0 AIS Transmitting Station !AX NMEA 4.0 Repeater AIS station !BS Base AIS station (deprecated in NMEA 4.0) !SA NMEA 4.0 Physical Shore AIS Station It can also be used between device on boat for message communication, AIVDO The
