Install instructions
Run these commands in the directory you want to put the app and press enter during the setup whenever it asks for confirmation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/fin-tic/fintic --recursive
cd fintic
./setup.sh
Now to turn off the audio circuit open the config file with
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
look for the dtparam=audio option and turn it to off, the line should look like this. And disable bluetooth, change temp limit:
dtparam=audio=off
dtoverlay=disable-bt
temp_soft_limit=70
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
isolcpus=3
enable ssh
cd /Volumes/boot
touch ssh
disable hdmi, add this line above exit 0
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
/usr/bin/tvservice -o
then reboot the pi with
sudo reboot
Set to run at startup
add the startup script to crotab. Open the crontab
crontab -e
add the line
@reboot sudo -E <path to fintic>/startup.sh &
dont forget the ampersand!
also make sure that the paths in startup.sh are correct for your install location
Install the hotspot
cd ~
curl "https://www.raspberryconnect.com/images/hsinstaller/AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.gz" -o AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.gz
tar -xzvf AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.gz
cd Autohotspot
sudo ./autohotspot-setup.sh
Choose option 2, then option 7 to change the SSID and password (for some reason it didnt work with the default SSID and password).
Then you can connect to the network and go to http://fintic.local:1024 or http://10.0.0.5:1024 and enter wifi information, then reboot
Change the hostname
To change the hostname (URL used to access the server) first open config
sudo raspi-config
Then go to system options -> hostname and change it to e.g. fintic
You then connect to the server using the url fintic.local:1024
Run instructions
sudo -E python3 server.py
in browser go to url http://raspberrypi.local:1024
If it doesnt work because of a missing package try running setup.sh again, sometimes it fails to connect to the package repos

To conver bdf font to pil format do pilfont.py pillow v 5.4.1 works, but version 8.2.0 breaks.
