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.

Re: how to stop the snake eyes?
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

Re: how to stop the snake eyes?
The only way to kill off the Pi eyes is to run this command if it is being started from rc.local.
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
sudo killall fbx2
Code: Select all
python3 eyes.py
