Installing Fluidd
The recommended way to install Fluidd on a Raspberry Pi is to use FluiddPi, a pre-packaged disk image. If you are building a custom configuration, you may need to skip these instructions and install Fluidd manually.
FluiddPi
To install Fluidd on a Raspberry Pi:
- Download the latest fluiddPi Release
- Unzip the .img file from your download.
- Use BalenaEtcher to write the .img on to an 8GB, or larger SDcard. THIS WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON YOUR CARD.
note: It is a good idea to use a premium SDcard from a reputable manufacturer such as Sandisk, Kingston or Samsung. Low end cards will often fail quickly when used in this application
- If you will be using wifi, edit the file
fluiddpi-wpa-supplicant.txt
with your Wifi information. If you are having trouble seeing this file on the sdcard, try removing it and re-inserting it into your card reader. - Make sure that your MCU(s) is connected to your pi, If you will be using wired networking, also make sure your ethernet cable is connected.
- Insert the SDcard into your Pi, and power on the Pi.
- Find your pi on the network, and ssh into it, (Using PuTTY on Windows or the terminal on MacOS)
- If your network supports bonjour, the pi should show up as
fluiddpi.local
- If your network automatically assigns DNS hostnames, it may simply show up as
fluiddpi
- Failing these two options, you may need to check your router’s DHCP server, and find out what IP address as been assigned to the device.
- If your network supports bonjour, the pi should show up as
- Also connect to your pi in a web browser: http://fluiddpi.local or whatever you determined the host name/ip to be in the previous step
- When you first connect, fluiddpi will ask you to “provide the moonraker api uri”: enter the same host name or IP address once more. (
fluiddpi.local
)
