BeagleBone: Creative Projects for Hobbyists

Final test

To test the prototype, I first executed the chapter_07/SYSINIT.sh file in the book's example code repository to set up all peripherals:

root@beaglebone:~# ./SYSINIT.sh
done!

Now, after checking that the web server is running, I started the plant_mon.sh plant monitor script, enabling all debugging messages:

root@beaglebone:~# root@beaglebone:~/chapter_07# ./plant_mon.sh -d -l -f
plant_mon.sh: min=10
