PiPlanter 2 | Getting Started Again

So I have decided to re write the PiPlanter from the ground up.  In essence, it will accomplish the same exact thing but I’d like it to be a lot more of a stable platform to expand upon in the future.  I’d also like PiPlanter to be professional enough to bring to market.  First off there are a few things you’d need install & a few modifications you’d need to make to Raspian.  First thing’s first, you’ll need to enable SPI in the kernel so:

Shell

1

sudo vi/etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

Comment out the spi-bcm2708 line so it looks like this:

Shell

1

#blacklist spi-bcm2708

Then run this to make it more permanent. 

Shell

1

sudo modprobe spi-bcm2708

Now for the real meat of it.  You’ll need these packages for SPI and the WiringPi library makes things a whole lot easier for us.  This program also relies very heavily

Hey!  This post was written a long time ago, but I'm leaving it up on the off-chance it may help someone, but proceed with caution.  It may not be a good idea to blindly integrate this code or work into your project, but instead use it as a starting point.
