Case for Grove Pi Disk Failure Detector This project is designed to provide a simple and effective method for detecting disk failure on the Raspberry Pi. The system uses a Grove Pi connector and a BME280 sensor to monitor the health of the disk and alert users in case of failure. The Grove Pi Disk Failure Detector is based on the concept of monitoring the disk's S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) attributes. This attribute is used by hard drives and solid-state disks to report their status to the operating system. To build this project, you will need a Raspberry Pi board, a Grove Pi connector, a BME280 sensor, a Jumper wire and a Python library called Py-SMART. First, install the necessary libraries by running the command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3-pip" in your terminal. Then, use pip to install Py-SMART. Next, connect the Grove Pi connector to the Raspberry Pi board and attach the BME280 sensor to the connector. You will also need to connect a Jumper wire between the VCC pin of the BME280 sensor and the 3V3 pin on the Raspberry Pi board. Once you have completed these steps, open your Python script using an IDE like PyCharm or Visual Studio Code and import the necessary libraries. Then, use the Py-SMART library to monitor the disk's S.M.A.R.T attributes and check for any signs of failure. If a failure is detected, the system will alert you via email or SMS message. This project provides a simple and effective method for monitoring the health of your Raspberry Pi's disk and preventing data loss due to disk failure.
