ABS Mini Tower NAS Kit

Absmininas01.jpg

Description

This kit contains an M.2 SATA SSD expansion board which can expand the mass storage for your Raspberry Pi.
The case is made of ABS material,This kit turns your Raspberry Pi into a mobile mini-host.

NOTE: The RGB light in Fan and mood light will not light up unless installed driver, and OLED will not display any information untill you have enabled it !!! Please read the manual carefully and follow the steps to enable it.

Please purchase M.2 SATA SSD 2280 mass storage device, It dose NOT support NVME SSD!!!

How to enable OLED Display

  • We assume you are using Raspberry Pi OS,(32bit/64bit).

1. Turn on `i2c function` by using `sudo raspi-config` -> `interface options` -> `i2c` -> `enable` -> `yes`. 2. Check if the screen has been recognized by Raspberry Pi

i2cdetect -y 1 

if encount `command not found` error, please install `i2c-tools` by using `sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install i2c-tools`.
3. Install dependencies libraries:

sudo apt -y install python3 python3-pip python3-pil libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5

4. Grant privilleges to user `pi`

sudo usermod -a -G gpio,i2c pi

5. Download sample code from this repo:

git clone https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples.git
cd luma.examples/

6. Install the dependencies

sudo -H pip3 install -e .

7. Entering into example folder and test it.

cd examples/
python3 animated_gif.py

8. At this time, the OLED screen is displaying a small banana man dancing.

If there is black screen or have nothing display on the screen, please check whether the cable is connected properly, and then check if you have enable the I2C function, and you can just typing : i2cdetect -y 1 in a terminal and check if there is an address like "3C" on screen. if not, please reconnect the cable and reboot raspberry pi. If you can not download the repository from github, please check the internet connection and please make sure you can access to github.com. If you have issue with using the OLED display, please contact us first.

How to enable fan light and mood light

NOTE: The RGB lights in the fan are connected to the ambient lights on the screen driver board. Turn on any one of the lights is equivalent to turn on the entire light group.
  • 1. The lights are connected to GPIO18 which can found by typing: pinout in a terminal.
GPIO18.png


  • 2. Make sure your Raspberry Pi can access internet.
  • 3. Download demo code projects sources from github.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x
  • 4. Build:

Build with SCons

  • Install Scons (on raspbian)
 sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install scons 
  • Make sure to adjust the parameters in main.cto suit your hardware.
  • Signal rate (400kHz to 800kHz). Default 800kHz.
  • ledstring.invert=1 if using a inverting level shifter.
  • Width and height of LED matrix (height=1 for LED string).
  • Type scons from inside the source directory.
cd rpi_ws281x/
sudo scons

Build and install with CMake

  • Install CMake
  • Configure your build:

For example:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D BUILD_SHARED=OFF -D BUILD_TEST=ON ..

See also for available options in 《font color=red>CMakeLists.txt.

Type

cmake --build .

to build

  • To install built binaries and headers into your system:
sudo make install
  • Running:

Type

sudo ./test 

(default uses PWM channel 0).

That's it. You should see a moving rainbow scroll across the display.

More options are available,

./test -h 

should show them:

./test version 1.1.0
Usage: ./test
-h (--help)    - this information
-s (--strip)   - strip type - rgb, grb, gbr, rgbw
-x (--width)   - matrix width (default 8)
-y (--height)  - matrix height (default 8)
-d (--dma)     - dma channel to use (default 10)
-g (--gpio)    - GPIO to use
                 If omitted, default is 18 (PWM0)
-i (--invert)  - invert pin output (pulse LOW)
-c (--clear)   - clear matrix on exit.
-v (--version) - version information

How to Install All Drivers Automatically

cd 
git clone https://github.com/geeekpi/absminitowerkit.git 
cd absminitowerkit/
sudo ./install.sh 

How to parted disk and mount it

  • Detect the disk which recognized by Raspberry Pi.
sudo lsblk

if you can see there is a device called:"/dev/sda", which is recognized by Raspberry Pi as first hard disk device.

  • Create new partition by using: fdisk command.
 sudo fdisk /dev/sda 

and create a new partion by using following command: press "n" and press "enter", and then input "p" and then press "enter", input "1" and then press "enter", and press "enter" again, means make the whole disk as an partition. finally, press "w" to write the partition table to your disk.

  • Update kernel info for your device.
 sudo partprobe /dev/sda 
  • Format disk to ext4 file system.
 sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 
NOTE: /dev/sda1 means the first partition of the device /dev/sda 
  • Create mounting point.
 mkdir /home/pi/mydata 
  • Grant access permission to the location.
chmod +rwx /home/pi/mydata
chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/mydata
  • Mount the device to mounting point:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o rw -v  /dev/sda1 /home/pi/mydata 
  • Check if the device is mounting properly.
df -Th 

How to enable automount the device when reboot the Raspberry Pi

 NOTE: wrong configure in /etc/fstab will crash your OS, please beware of the operations.
  • If you want to mounting the device automatically, please modify "/etc/fstab" and adding following line.
 /dev/sda1    /home/pi/mydata     ext4     defaults,noatime    0   0  
  • Check if the file is correctly.
 
sudo mount -a 
df -Th
