Up and Running CyberPi + RaspberryPi

Configure Raspberry pi

1. Download the Raspberry Pi Imager (i used Etcher first but this one makes the process much easier and faster)

2. Download the Raspberry Pi OS (make sure to download the Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) Lite ) this is a very important step, since at the time i did this, i only had raspberries B with very little memory, which is the main reason i suspect many installation attempts failed.

3. Connect your SD card to your computer and start te imager.

4. on the imager, select "operating system" ==> "custom" ==> (the image from step 2)

5. select the sd card for storage

6. BEFORE WRITING click on the settings and configure everything (this saves a lot of time)

7. Now you can flash😄

8. Turn the Raspberry pi on, since we used the lite version, it does not come with any sotware or graphics, so don't bother on connecting a monitor or keyboard. Because we already activated the ssh on step 4. we can do everything from our host computer.

9. open a terminal and run: ssh gary@TMRPI.local and that's it! 🥳

if you already had the Repo make sure it's updated with git pull origin main

Make sure you have python 3 installed and run:

python program.py
