Run a programm at startup

First install screen

Fixing WiFI Dropout Issues

from: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup/test-and-configure#fixing-wifi-dropout-issues

If you find your module 'drops out' from time to time, you can fix it fairly easily with a command line fix (thanks perseus286!)

Create and edit a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

and paste the following in

# Disable power saving
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=1 rtw_ips_mode=1

Then reboot with sudo reboot

Set hostName of the RPI

sudo nano /etc/hosts
sudo nano /etc/hostname

sudo reboot

Remarks (for me)

• hostname of the "motion"/GoPiGo RPI : bobby.local => ssh pi@bobby.local
• broker: zeira.corp
• run motion module: node bob.next/bobby.js
