Setting Up on Umbrel OS

If you have installed Umbrel OS on your Raspberry Pi 5, you will need to configure the Pironman 5 Mini using the command line. Detailed instructions are provided below:

  1. Connect your Raspberry Pi 5 to your network using an Ethernet cable. This step is essential to ensure that your Raspberry Pi has internet access.

  2. In your browser, visit: http://umbrel.local. If the page does not open, check your router for the Umbrel device’s IP address, for example: http://192.168.1.50

  8. Proceed to download the code from GitHub and install the pironman5 module.

    cd ~
git clone -b mini https://github.com/sunfounder/pironman5.git --depth 1
cd ~/pironman5
sudo python3 install.py

  9. After the installation is complete, enter the following command to reboot your Raspberry Pi.

    sudo reboot

  10. Upon reboot, the pironman5.service will start automatically. Here are the primary configurations for Pironman 5 Mini:

    • Four WS2812 RGB LEDs will light up in blue with a breathing mode.

    • The RGB fans are set to Always On mode by default. For information on adjusting activation temperatures, see Control RGB Fan.

  11. You can use the systemctl tool to start, stop, restart, or check the status of pironman5.service.

    sudo systemctl restart pironman5.service

    • restart: Use this command to apply any changes made to the settings of pironman 5 Mini.

    • start/stop: Enable or disable the pironman5.service.

    • status: Check the operational status of the pironman5 program using the systemctl tool.

Note

At this point, you have successfully set up the Pironman 5 Mini, and it is ready to use.
