TECBERRY - Dockerized Thermal Fatigue Testing Implementation

About the project

Control and automate Peltier modules for thermal fatigue testing from a Raspberry Pi

Required items

• 1x Raspberry Pi device
• 6x Peltier Module
  • This project was built using the TEC1-12715

Setup instructions

For this you will need a Raspberry Pi with a working Raspbian installation. To set the Raspberry Pi up, follow the instructions here. When choosing the operating system (OS) in the Raspberry Pi imager it is highly recommended that you press on Raspberry Pi OS (Other) and select Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) or Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit)

1. After first boot, plug the Raspberry Pi into an HDMI-compatible monitor and connect a keyboard.
2. Log in using the default username pi and password raspberry.
3. Run the following commands on your Raspberry Pi to use the easy setup script:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip
pi@raspberrypi:~$ curl -fsSLO https://bit.ly/tecberry-py && sudo python3 tecberry-py

4. Follow the setup instructions to configure your Raspberry Pi
5. You may run the containers using the following command:

pi@RaspberryPiLeader:~$ sudo docker-compose pull && sudo docker-compose up -d

Task list

• Create basic dockerfile
• Create easy setup script
• Create remote administration logic
• Create configurable GPIO logic
