## Minimal hardware implementation
- Raspberry Pi 2, 3 or 4(work in progress)
- MicroSD card
- Raspberry Pi power supply

**Video capture side for lowcost S-Video**
- Easycap UTV007 device (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0126O0RDC)
- HDMI to S-Video (not all options work, but these two have been tested) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012MDMWLM or https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E56CV42)
  
**Video capture side for HDMI**
- B101 HDMI to CSI-2 Bridge (https://auvidea.eu/b101-hdmi-to-csi-2-bridge-15-pin-fpc/)

**HID Subsystem and ATX control**
- Arduino Pro Micro with hardware USB for HID sub-system
- GPIO cables
- 2-Channel Relay Module
- Optocouplers



## Setting up the hardware
Here is a diagram of how you connect all of the pieces:

The detailed process is to:
- Connect the Pi3 to the relay board using this method: http://youtu.be/oaf_zQcrg7g
- Connect the Pi0 to the Pi3 using this method: https://www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com/2017/02/connect-raspberry-pi-pi-zero-usb-ttl-serial-cable/. You do not need to supply power to the Pi0, it will get power via the GPIO pins.
- Plug the easycap device and the USB TTL device into the USB ports on the Pi3
- Connect the HDMI out of your computer into the HDMI to S-Video box, and connect it to the EasyCap device via an S-Video cable
- Connect the Pi0 to the server via a microUSB to USB male cable


## Quick Install
The quick method of installation is to simply run the install script on the Pi3 as the `pi` user:
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fmstrat/diy-ipmi/master/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
```
Everything will be done on the Pi3 and Pi0 automatically with the video input defaulting to s-video.

If you would like to manage multiple servers with one IPMI system, please see the [Managing multiple servers](#managing-multiple-servers) section below.

Be sure to check the bottom of this README for [Tips](#tips) and [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)!

## The long way
If you would like to do things step by step to understand how things work, the following instructions can be used.

#### Setting up the Pi 3
First, let's get all the software we need:
```
sudo apt-get update

```

#### Access the IPMI
You should now be able to access the IPMI console at `http://<RaspberryPi3IP>/`. From here you can set up SSL and port forwarding to the device as your situation requires.
