Bicimon is a command-line tool that enables you to monitor your bicycle's speed and location using a GPS module and Raspberry Pi. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Bicimon on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Git is a version control system that allows you to download files from GitHub repositories. To install Git, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install git
Now that Git is installed, we can clone the Bicimon repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/knrdl/bicimon.git
This will download the Bicimon files onto your Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Bicimon is written in Python, so we need to install Python using the following command:
sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip python3-devel python3-gpiozero
Once Python is installed, we need to download the dependencies using pip:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now that everything is installed, you can use Bicimon by running the following command:
sudo python3 bicimon.py
This will start the Bicimon application and begin monitoring your bicycle.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bicimon on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system. You can now monitor the speed and location of your bicycle using your Raspberry Pi and GPS module.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
