# Raspberry Pi Car
A four-wheel drive car based on Raspberry Pi board.
## Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
### Prerequisites
Install and run [rpi-webrtc-streamer](https://github.com/kclyu/rpi-webrtc-streamer) for camera streaming via WebRTC.
You can use deb packages from [this repository](https://github.com/kclyu/rpi-webrtc-streamer-deb).
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo dpkg -i rws_xxx_armhf.deb
sudo systemctl start rws
```
### Installing
Clone this repo to your Raspberry Pi
```
git clone https://github.com/alsakhaev/raspberry-pi-car.git
cd raspberry-pi-car
```
Install all NPM dependencies
```
npm install
```
The pigpio C library and therefore the pigpio Node.js package requires root/sudo privileges to access hardware peripherals.
You can find more information about it at [the page of pigpio library](https://github.com/fivdi/pigpio).
Build and run production bundle
```
sudo npm run start:prod
```
Or build and run development bundle in watching mode
```
sudo npm run start
```
### Port Forwarding
For external remote control via Internet, probably you will need to configure port forwarding in your router. The following table describes ports using and its purposes.
| Port | Description |
| ---- | ----------------------------------- |
| 8080 | Web client |
| 8081 | Node.js based API |
| 8888 | WebRTC Streaming Direct Port of RWS |
| 8889 | WebSocket signaling server of RWS |
## Project Structure
- `packages/client` - React.js based web client
- `packages/server` - Node.js based WebSocket API for car control
