Bob Documentation and Tips

Create new service

In order to launch a Bob module during the start-up of the Raspberry Pi, we create services that are managed through Systemd.

To create a new service, you first need to create a .service file (like this one), then, you have to copy it in /etc/systemd/system/ and run:

sudo systemctl enable <your-service-name>

You can also see the status of your service using the command:

sudo systemctl status <your-service-name>

Update Bob

At this stage, Bob cannot update itself though Git, so one (not-so-beautiful) way to update its modules is take the Raspberry's SD Card, open it with a Linux computer (if you do it on Windows you won't see the Raspberry's main partition, since Windows doesn't support it) and substitute the module of interest with the new version.
