We currently use 3 LattePandas:

  • Trashpanda: Ground Station host
  • Redpanda: InfluxDb server
  • Giantpanda: Grafana host

Steps to install:

  1. Flash Ubuntu 18.04 on hardware
  2. Disable internal display in BIOS [IPG to HDMI2, Force Lid to Off]
    1. If that doesn't work, add command to .bashrc "xrandr --output DSI-1 --off"
  3. Run "apt update", then "apt upgrade"
  4. Use apt to install openssh-server, g++, and make
  5. run "sudo systemctl enable ssh"
  6. Git clone the GSW repo "https://github.com/WillMerges/GSW-2021/"
  7. cd into the project and run ". setenv"
  8. run "make"
