Revision as of 09:23, 4 January 2015
The Simple Bot software is installed on the Raspberry Pi. If you are attending the workshop you will be provided with a pre-installed SD card to use. This page will help you with any additional configuration that is required and allow you to create your own SD image if you need to later.
Contents
Changing the default configuration
1. Insert the Micro SD card into a laptop or workstation using the provided adaptor 2. When the image is mounted open the file `machine.local` in a text editor 3. Edit the file as explained by the comments in the file. 4. Save the file and unmount the SD card and then remove it 5. Insert the card into the Raspberry Pi and power up
By default the Miniconf image will use a hostname based on the unique serial number of the ARM CPU.
Creating your own SD image
You can create a suitable development kit as follows:
1. Install a Raspberry Pi Raspian Image on your SD by following these instructions. 2. Boot your raspberry Pi and login as user `pi` with password `raspberry` 3. Make sure your keyboard is correctly configured and you have internet access 4. Run the following command bash <(wget https:// #todo)
General references
Compiling the driver for the RT7601 WiFi chipset
This worked:
mkdir wireless-drivers cd wireless-drivers wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11876059/DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913.tar.gz tar zxf DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913.tar.gz cd DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913 make sudo make install sudo reboot
Note that some of the steps below (kernel source setup, etc) may also be necessary. I need to redo this from scratch on a clean system to verify.
