Change Your conf.yml File

Overview

About the conf.yml file

Reasons you might want to do this:

1. Changing broadcast timing - ie how often the s erver cycles

2. Adding an experimental parameter

Guide

[Optional] Before doing this, save the conf.yml file you are using, if you don't already have it saved. You can use the following command in a terminal window:

scp pi@<your-IP-address>:/home/pi/evolver/evolver/conf.yml

1. In a terminal, navigate to the folder in the server files containing the conf.yml file you want to change to

   1. For example if you want to change to the stir pause conf.yml:

      1. cd <your-directory>/evolver/alternate_conf_files/stir_pause_for_OD_reads

   2. For example if you want to change to the default conf.yml:

      1. cd <your-directory>/evolver/

2. Copy over your new conf.yml file (overwriting the old one)

   1. Input the following command:

      1. scp conf.yml pi@<your-IP-address>:/home/pi/evolver/evolver/

   2. Input your eVOLVER server's password

3. Restart your eVOLVER server

   1. Input the following command (replaced with your eVOLVER's IP)

      1. ssh pi@<your-IP-address>

   2. Input your eVOLVER server's password

   3. Input the following commands to restart the server

      1. sudo supervisorctl

      2. restart evolver

4. Check the server log files to see that it is cycling properly

   1. While still in supervisorctl, input:

      1. tail -f evolver
