# world-o-techno
Location-based techno with Sonic Pi and gpsd, for Bristol Mini Maker Faire 2015

See http://www.jarkman.co.uk/catalog/robots/worldotechno.htm for hardware details

## Getting started:

Check this repository out into ```/home/pi```

Install gpsd (thanks to http://blog.retep.org/2012/06/18/getting-gps-to-work-on-a-raspberry-pi/) with
```
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
```
and start it with
```
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
```

Check your GPS works with
```
pi@raspberrypi:~$ cgps -s
```

Install sonic-pi-cli to give Sonic Pi a command line (via https://github.com/Widdershin/sonic-pi-cli)
```
pi@raspberrypi:~$ gem install sonic-pi-cli
```

## Autostart

Make your pi start Sonic Pi and play our script when the Pi boots boot (thanks to
https://rbnrpi.wordpress.com/autoboot-for-telegram-and-sonic-pi-jukebox/)
```
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo vi /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
```
and add these lines at the end:
```
@sonic-pi
lxterminal --command "/home/pi/world-o-techno/startup.sh"
```

Now reboot your Pi and see if it works.
