Raspberry Pi notes - quasics/quasics-frc-sw-2015 GitHub Wiki

  • Default configuration for Raspbian (the Linux distribution for RasPi hardware)
    • Username: pi
    • Password: raspberry
  • To get the IP address for a RasPi that's on the network
    • Log in on the console (keyboard+screen), and type the command "ifconfig -a"
  • Setting Up Vision After Flashing New SD Card
    • To begin communicating with the pi make sure to use Network Switch with the following connections:
      • Computer to Network Switch
      • Raspberry Pi to Network Switch
      • Radio to Network Switch
      • Radio to Radio Power Module
      • Radio Power Module to RoboRio
  • Configuring an arbitrary Raspbian image to boot as read-only
    • Note: Doing this can be very important, as it is intended to help prevent the SD card from being corrupted if (as far as the RasPi is concerned) the power is unexpectedly cut (e.g., if the RasPi is powered by a VRM, etc., and the robot gets turned off).
