• Raspberry Pi 3B+
  • Adapter
  • 32GB SD Card (8GB is enough when not using camera)
• GrovePi+
  • Moisture Sensor
  • Light Sensor
  • LED Red (5mm)
  • Temperature & Humidity Sensor (DHT22)
• Optional:
  • Heat sink for Raspberry Pi
  • Raspberry Pi Camera (Board V2 - 8MP)

1. Download and burn Raspbian to SD card.
2. Do initial Raspbian setup, make sure to setup an internet connection.
3. Update Raspbian:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

4. Attach GrovePi+ To Raspberry Pi and run:

$ sudo curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_grovepi | bash
$ sudo reboot

5. After reboot run:

$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1

• If the install was successful, you should see "04" in the output.
• See GrovePi Setup if unsuccessful.

6. Connect sensors to the GrovePi ports:

Feel free to use different ports, just be sure to change them in growpi.py.

7. Create secrets.py, and fill out your ftp url, username and password:

FTP_URL = 'ftp.example.com'
USERNAME = 'your_username'
PASSWORD = '123456'

8. Copy the contents of the website directory, to the root of your website.
9. Launch growPi:

$ python growpi.py

• If you don't want to use the website, just remove all uploadCSV() and UploadImage() function calls from the main loop.
• If you want to get the timelapse video, download timelapse.py, create secrets.py, and run timelapse.py on your local machine. Or upload them to a server and add timelapse.py to a cronjob, so the video will get updated automatically.
