Prius Camping

This repository contains the source code and documentation regarding my 2014 Toyota Prius camping setup. Diagnostics and vehicle sensor data provided by the ECUs are read over USB OBD-II serial cable (ISO 9141) to a Raspberry Pi API service & dashboard.

# Install

1. Setup

It is expected that you have a fresh clean install of the latest version of Rasbian Lite before continuing.

It is also expected you have a secure SSH key generated to access your RPi.

# Generate a new SSH key (Dolores is my car's name)
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -P "" -f ~/.ssh/dolores

# View the public key to add in a later step
cat ~/.ssh/dolores.pub

# Add the newly generated SSH key to your keyring
ssh-add ~/.ssh/dolores

Using Raspberry Pi Imager

I recommend using the Raspberry Pi Imager for burning a fresh Rasbian install on a micro-SD card.

Select the gear in the bottom right corner to open the "Advanced options" menu.

Ensure the following settings are set with your desired username, a strong user password, and network settings if you are using WiFi.

2. Configuration

Copy the example-config.sh file to config.sh and configure it accordingly.

3. Run Installer

Now run ./deploy.sh install <host> to install the project on to the host.
