Demo

• Fresh start

  • How to set up your Raspberry Pi from scratch.

• Services description

  • How the installed services work.

• Explaining

  • Overview of the dashboard and how to add/remove fields.

1. Power Up the System

• Ensure the battery is connected to the power board.

• Turn on the power supply using the switch.

• The LEDs should turn on.

2. Power Up the Brushless Motor & ESC

• Press the button once to start the ESC.

• You should hear two short beeps (motor ready) followed by a slightly longer beep (ESC calibrated).

• The button should begin flashing red.

3. Wait & Connect to Wi-Fi

• Wait for the Wi-Fi network BFMCDemoCar to appear. (On first boot with our image, the Raspberry Pi may take longer than expected.)

• Connect using the password: supersecurepassword

• Or scan the QR code below (works on a phone as well):

4. Connect to the Frontend

• Open any browser and go to: http://192.168.50.1:4200

• Or scan the QR code:

5. Log In & Initialize

• Wait for the “Backend connection lost” message to disappear. (The frontend starts immediately; the backend starts only after the webpage connects.)

• Leave the password field empty.

• Press Submit.

• Close the “Security Setup Required” popup. It will reappear until you set a password in src/dashboard/frontend/src/app/app.component.ts (line 50).

• To change the popup timeout, modify line 194 (value in ms).

• To disable the alert entirely, set line 152 to False.

6. Explore the Interface

• Set Battery status (KL) to: - 15 for sensor data - 30 for motor activation

• Set Driving mode → Manual to control the car using the keyboard (the beeper should activate).

• Drive using: W A S D + Space (brake).

• To stop, set Driving Mode → Stop and Battery status → 0 (the beeper should activate again).
