install clusterctl only

[Stu Midgley]

Evening

I've been looking through your clusterhat-image repo and would like to pull out just the clusterctl program (to power on the pi0's etc).  Is this packaged up already?  or do I just work my way through it to do a hand install?

OR... should I jsut grab the raw codes and implement my own simple hardware control code?

Before I dive down a rabbit warren...

Thanks.

Hi, 

I've been looking through your clusterhat-image repo and would like to pull out just the clusterctl program (to power on the pi0's etc).  Is this packaged up already?  or do I just work my way through it to do a hand install?

I've added an entry on installing it manually https://8086.support/content/13/120/en/how-do-i-manually-install-clusterctrl.html there isn't currently a package as that's something I still need to learn how to do (suggestions/hints welcome).

 

OR... should I jsut grab the raw codes and implement my own simple hardware control code?

If you want to control a ClusterHAT then the info to control it can be found on https://clusterhat.com/setup-control under the "Custom Control" heading just select the tab for the version you have.

If you want to control a USB ClusterCTRL device then this isn't fully documented yet but it can be read/written to as you would most I2C devices using the usb_tiny_i2c kernel module (loaded by the udev rules in the manual install steps above). You can find a list of the register locations and commands in the clusterctrl firmware repository - if you have questions just ask.

Chris.

great, thanks.

Looking through the manual install, I think I'd done most of that - so no doubt it will be in the details :)

I'll give it a go before I jump in and write something in go

OK, got it installed by hand.  Working well.

Thanks.
