Setting up Raspberry Pi¶ ↑

This is a simple start guide to setting up Raspberry Pi for use with inkblot

Flashing¶ ↑

See the Raspberry Pi Documentation for details on downloading images and flashing them to cards.

Wifi setup¶ ↑

Run bin/pi/wpa_config to enter wifi credentials. This will save a wpa_supplicant.conf file. You can also create one manually if you'd like.

Boot Config¶ ↑

Ensure that the boot volume is mounted. Run bin/pi/boot_config, which will set SSH and SPI settings, and copy your wpa_supplicant.conf file.

Handshaking¶ ↑

Insert the card into the Raspberry Pi and power it on. Run bin/pi/ssh, which will connect to the Raspberry pi for the first time and save a configuration file. If a password is requested, it is “raspberry”. You'll want to also run ssh-copy-id pi@raspberrypi.local to set up keys.

Run bin/pi/changelogin. This will allow you to change your pi's hostname on the network, and change the password. After rebooting, run bin/pi/ssh again to confirm it worked.

Installing Dependencies¶ ↑

Run bin/pi/install_deps. You can install various needed dependencies remotely with this script, including Ruby, NodeJS/NPM, ImageMagick, and the gem itself.
