Manually launch sensors onto Raspberry Pi devices

Once the Raspberry Pi has started and you're connected via VNC Viewer or TeamViewer, launch Konsole to access Linux/Raspbian terminal.

  • Go to the right folder: cd Git/tfe-PiSense/sensors/,
  • Launch BME680/BME280/BMP280 code according to the sensor connected on PiSense. Here's with the BME680 sensor: sudo python3 bme680/bme680sensor.py
  • Open a new tab in Konsole: New Tab (Ctrl+Shift+T) > Fish (F),
  • Launch SDS011 code if the sensor is connected on PiSense: sudo python sds011/sds011sensor.py.

That's it!

Automatically launch sensors onto Raspberry Pi devices

If you want to automatically launch both BME680 and SDS011 sensor, a small script is available and runnable inside root folder.

  • BME680 + SDS011 launcher: pi_bme680-sds011launcher.sh
  • BME280 + SDS011 launcher: pi_bme280-sds011launcher.sh
  • BMP280 + SDS011 launcher: pi_bmp280-sds011launcher.sh
