setup

After initial setup, configure autopilot: create an autopilot directory and a prefs.json file

Data:

DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE

performance:

Classes:

Autopilot_Form(*args, **kwargs)
Hardware_Form(*args, **kwargs)
Agent_Form([name, parentApp, framed, help, …])
Pilot_Env_Form(*args, **kwargs)
Pilot_Config_Form_1(*args, **kwargs)
Pilot_Config_Form_2(*args, **kwargs)
Terminal_Form(*args, **kwargs)
Autopilot_Setup(prefs)

Functions:

unfold_values(v)	Unfold nested values from the SetupForm.
make_dir(adir)	Make a directory if it doesn’t exist and set its permissions to 0777

DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE = {'DATADIR': 'data', 'LOGDIR': 'logs', 'PROTOCOLDIR': 'protocols', 'SOUNDDIR': 'sounds', 'VIZDIR': 'viz'}

performance:

• disable startup script that changes cpu governor,

• change cpu governor to “performance” on boot

• increase memlock and realtime priority limits for audio group

hifiberry:

• turn onboard audio off

• enable hifiberry stuff in /boot/config.txt

• edit alsa config so hifiberry is default sound card

Todo

Need to find a more elegant way to do this, for now see lines 160-200 in the presetup_pilot.sh legacy script
