how to stop the snake eyes?

Post by tibae »

Hey there,

I worked with the snake eyes, everything worked fine and as described in the instructions. now i want to install more stuff on the raspi to run parallel with the eyes (i.e. play a soundfile in the background). Thereby my question: How do I stop the eyes and come back to a desktop environment on the raspi? The usual commands ctrl-alt-F3 or ctrl z show no effect...
Thanks a lot!

Do you have the option to login remotely via ssh?

There is a python3 eyes.py script running that you can kill the process for.

unfortunately I do not have the possibility to access the pi via SSH. When I connect a monitor, the eyes appear on it in large, but unfortunately I have not found a way to stop the program with a keyboard command

The only way to kill off the Pi eyes is to run this command if it is being started from rc.local.

Code: Select all

sudo killall fbx2
If you wanted to manually start the code and remove it from automatic startup that should give you a way to exit it with ctrl-C. Remove this line from the rc.local and manually invoke it from the shell on startup in console mode.

Code: Select all

python3 eyes.py
