autoPi source code

[remou]

Hi , i wanted to test something with autopi which requires an advanced access the hardware part , i was wondering if it is an open hardware ? and where can i find source code that manages the dongle , is there any documentation about the core functionalities .

Hi @remou,

Unfortunately the hardware is not open source. The AutoPi Core (the software running on the device) is open source. You can find it here:

AutoPi.io

The documentation isn’t the best at the moment, but I recommend that you compare the files to the files located on your device.

If you want to know a little more about the GPIO access, you can see the pinout here:

AutoPi GPIO Pinout

AutoPi GPIO Pinout This image is an overview of the GPIO pinout of the AutoPi. Pins marked with “in use” cannot be used for anything else. This will interrupt the functionality of the AutoPi. This I2C bus is used by the AutoPi, but can be shared with other devices. All other pins are free and their functionality follows that of the Raspberry Pi. [Rpi-pinout] [Rpi-pinout_TMU]

Best of luck with the project.

kind regards,
Peter

Knowing there are some privacy constraints , can we redirect data to our clouds without interacting with yours ?

Hi @remou

Yes its possible to redirect the datastream if you like. Its just a configuration option that can be set on the device.

best,
Peter
