Each camera in the plane is driven by a pi zero. There is a prepared image for this usecase, but some planespecific parameters need to be set for each image.

• Download image: https://cloud.hs-augsburg.de/s/6cia2g5xpoCjjZX
• Flash image to SD Card (e.g. using Etcher Tool)
• Set HostName to a unique name in /etc/hostname and in /etc/hosts : e.g. Freddy-cam-l
• Set Accesspoint depending on left / right camera :
  • Get info for AP names and passwords from the network description.
  • Write info in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf :

cam-r : AP1
cam-l : AP2

network={
        ssid="AP1"
        psk="AP-Password"
}

• Insert image into plane and power up
• First bootup the filesystem of image (~2Gb) is enlarged to the SD-Card size (64Gb)
  • Implemented by creating a /data partition where the image will be saved
  • Takes ~3-5Minutes
  • Afterwards filesystem resize the camera-capture & webserver service is started
• You can access each camera via its hostname: ssh searchwing@Freddy-cam-l.local
• The recorded images can be checked via webserver in the webbrowser: e.g. http:\\Freddy-cam-l.local
• Preflightcheck can be done with the searchwing-pi-manager on the laptop
