Getting Started

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi (made for Pi 3 Model B) and power source
• Enviro pHat
• Speaker

1. Souder the Enviro pHAT

System

1. Install NOOBS (to then install Raspbian)
2. Enable I2C
3. Enable SSH (for your own sake)
4. Set the speaker to the default sound device
5. Reboot

Libraries

1. curl https://get.pimoroni.com/envirophat > install.sh
2. ./install.sh
3. sudo apt-get install python3-numpy (already installed)
4. sudo apt-get install python3-pygame (already installed)
5. pip3 install sklearn
6. pip3 install python-twitter
7. Obtain twitter api keys and create a file called secret.py in the following format

consumer_key="xxx"
consumer_secret="xxx"
access_token_key="xxx"
access_token_secret="xxx"

Installing

1. git clone https://github.com/qqii/paindoras-box/

Usage

scream.py

Usage: ./scream.py

Plays the screaming sound.

shout.py

Usage: ./shout.py

Tweets a message to @robot_screaming.

classifier.py

Usage:
  ./classifier.py train (shaking|still)
  ./classifier.py classify x

where x is a jerk

Currently classifies acceleration data into the class "violent" and "non violent" using a naive bayes classifier based on the jerk of the box at a given time.

sensors.py

Usage: ./sensors.py (delay)

Polls acceleration and light sensor every delay seconds. Replace this with your implementation if you have a different sensor kit.

main.py

Usage: ./main.py [delay]

Creates life, with a default polling delay of 0.1s.
