Current Stations
Hardware 3D-PAWS
- There is no drop ceiling clamp available.
- Sensor Sub-Assembly 4 is confusing, Need to put male jumper on female to make male-to-male.
- The small square magnetic comes with the sensor.
- Current printer filament: Overture PLA 1.75mm
- Current Printer: Huafast HS
- Current Printer Location: Clifford 601
- Current slicer: Ultimaker Cura
Grafana Config
Software - SD Cards
- Command to write image to SD card on Linux, where /dev/mmcblk0 is the device of the card on the system.
- sudo dd if=./3dpaws_pi.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
- Command to read image SD card on Linux, where /dev/mmcblk0 is the device of the card on the system.
- sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=./3dpaws_pi.img
- Label the SD Cards with Current Station serial number and software date
- Example: UND# # # # # & YYYYMMDD (no spaces between #'s)
Software - Rassberry Pi Configuration
- Within terminal navigate to find Host Name
- cd /etc
- sudo vi hostname
- Host name will be 3D-PAWS serial number and software date
- Example: UND# # # # #-YYYYMMDD (no spaces between #'s)
- To save enter → :w
- Then hit enter and save as usual
- Navigate to Hosts to set the IP address
- cd /etc
- sudo vi hosts
- Hosts is localhost IP address
- Communicate with 3D-PAWS by installing TeamViewer software
- Rename “Your Display Name”
- Name will be: UND# # # # #-YYYYMMDD
- Assign to Account: for now we are using David Delene's account
- Security
- Change Password to our standard password: sudo su; passwd pi
- ID Number: enter into GoogleDocs
Software - Raspberry Pi Setup
- To setup/change software for new stations:
- On the Desktop, click the 3D-PAWS icon
- Settings
- CHORDS menu
- Set 3D-PAWS ID to the correct number
- Found on CHORDS site
- Set web address
- Replace 3d.chordsrt.com with CHORDS IP address
- Example: #.# #.# #.# #.com (no spaces between #'s)
