=====i/o Setup=====
Using this reference https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio-plus-and-raspi2/README.md
and https://sites.google.com/site/semilleroadt/raspberry-pi-tutorials/gpio
++Used a 4 pin floppy disk connector on physical pins 7,9,11,13 which equates to IO4,GND,IO17,IO27.
The connector has fly leads of yellow (io4), black (gnd), black (IO17), red (IO27). The black was useful as a gnd for first testing IO but both black lead was then snipped.++
Changed to individual pins - GPIO 27 and 17
**GPIO Port 17 for HOLD** (setting as 1 sets GPIO 17 to 3.3v)
##sudo su
echo 17 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value##
notes, this is obviously volatile... on reboot GPIO17 ++is high++ appears high, but is actually floating. It appears to drop low when direction is set to 'out'
**GPIO Port 27 for ACC IN** (Set as 3.3V when power is plugged in to the ACC+12V)
##sudo su
echo 27 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/direction
cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value##
=====Time and Date=====
Decided to get a RTC as may not always have GPS and/or network. Wrong log times are annoying.
https://nicegear.co.nz/raspberry-pi/high-precision-real-time-clock-for-raspberry-pi/
Can get similar for <$2 from china but this will do
Need to check pinouts - doesn't piggyback so need to make sure we don't need the same i/o pins.
Info on how to use https://nicegear.co.nz/blog/using-a-ds3231-i2c-real-time-clock-rtc-with-a-raspberry-pi-updated-for-jessie/
https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/17209332-adding-a-real-time-clock-to-your-raspberry-pi
i2c device so when plugged in - run this to see if it is there
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
set up ntp to set the RTC (I did that with network and GPS time)
Run ##sudo hwclock -w## to write the system time to the RTC board.
then will need to add the RTC kernel module to the file /etc/modules so it is loaded when the Pi boots.
##sudo nano /etc/modules##
add rtc-ds1307 at the end
=====GPS Setup=====
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/547/how-do-i-attach-a-gps-receiver
Just needed to install gpsd and a bunch of stuff that comes with it
##sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps##
test status with ##cgps -s##
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/28483/cgps-gps-timeout
Edit /etc/default/gpsd
##
# Default settings for the gpsd init script and the hotplug wrapper.
# Start the gpsd daemon automatically at boot time
START_DAEMON="true"
# Use USB hotplugging to add new USB devices automatically to the daemon
USBAUTO="true"
# Devices gpsd should collect to at boot time.
# They need to be read/writeable, either by user gpsd or the group dialout.
DEVICES="/dev/ttyUSB0"
# Other options you want to pass to gpsd
GPSD_OPTIONS="-F /var/run/gpsd.socket"
##
**Possible fix needed?**
##Note if you're using the Raspbian Jessie or later release
you'll need to disable a systemd (system management daemons) service that gpsd installs. This service has systemd listen on a local socket and run gpsd when clients connect to it, however it will also interfere with other gpsd instances that are manually run (like in this guide). You will need to disable the gpsd systemd service by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl stop gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket
Should you ever want to enable the default gpsd systemd service you can run these commands to restore it (but remember the rest of the steps in this guide won't work):##
##
sudo killall gpsd
sudo systemctl enable gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl start gpsd.socket
sudo cgps -s
##
then modify ntp to set system time based on ntp
https://blog.retep.org/2012/06/18/getting-gps-to-work-on-a-raspberry-pi/
Next you need to edit the file: /etc/ntp.conf and add a few lines to it defining the GPS. This can be either before or after the existing lines beginning with server:
# gps ntp
server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4
fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.183 refid NMEA
server 127.127.28.1 minpoll 4 prefer
fudge 127.127.28.1 refid PPS
then restart ntp
##pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo service ntp restart##
=====USB Relay=====
Used one of these with a USBA cable

No HID drivers in raspberry pi so need to build them

##If you've installed your own libraries in /usr/local/lib have you run sudo ldconfig after doing that.##
sudo ./usbrelay 2>/dev/null
OUGOH_1=1
OUGOH_2=1
$ sudo ./usbrelay PSUIS_2=0
$ sudo ./usbrelay PSUIS_2=1 PSUIS_1=0
$ sudo ./usbrelay PSUIS_2=0 PSUIS_1=1 0U70M_1=0 0U70M_2=1
Ordered one of these... can get cheaper/similar but this should do
