Set Up on Raspberry Pi

Note

Before configuring, you need to boot up and log into your Raspberry Pi. If you’re unsure how to log in, you can visit the official Raspberry Pi website: Getting Started with Raspberry Pi.

Configuring Shutdown to Deactivate GPIO Power

To prevent the OLED screen and RGB fans, powered by the Raspberry Pi GPIO, from remaining active post-shutdown, it’s essential to configure the Raspberry Pi for GPIO power deactivation.

  1. Manually edit the EEPROM configuration file with this command:

    sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e

  2. Modify the POWER_OFF_ON_HALT setting in the file to 1. For instance:

    BOOT_UART=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf41

  3. Press Ctrl + X, Y and Enter to save the changes.

Downloading and Installing the pironman5 Module

  1. For lite systems, initially install tools like git, python3, pip3, setuptools, etc.

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git -y
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools -y

  2. Proceed to download code from GitHub and install the pironman5 module .

    cd ~
git clone -b nas https://github.com/sunfounder/pironman5.git
cd ~/pironman5
sudo python3 install.py

    After successful installation, a system reboot is required to activate the installation. Follow the on-screen reboot prompt.

    Upon reboot, the pironman5.service will start automatically. Here are the primary configurations for Pironman 5:

    • The OLED screen displays CPU, RAM, Disk Usage, CPU Temperature, and the Raspberry Pi’s IP Address.

  3. You can use the systemctl tool to start, stop, restart, or check the status of pironman5.service.

    sudo systemctl restart pironman5.service

    • restart: Use this command to apply any changes made to the settings of pironman 5.

    • start/stop: Enable or disable the pironman5.service.

    • status: Check the operational status of the pironman5 program using the systemctl tool.
