This is going to be a little note/link reference page for all the stuff I’ve done with Raspberry Pi’s. I had this stored in a gdoc but I figured it’s more useful here. This isn’t very well sorted or formatted yet. If you find this page and need some info that I haven’t finished posting, just message me and I’ll try to light a fire under it.

[SETUP FROM RASPIAN IMAGE]
***run rpi-config (automatically runs at first boot)
___ [SETTINGS:]
___ <EXPAND ROOT>
___ <START SSH ON BOOT>
___ <UPDATE RPI-CONFIG>
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
***run rpi-update (https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update)
***change uname/pword

[WIFI]
$ sudo apt-get install wicd wicd-curses
***add user pi to netdev if/when prompted
***configure network with wicd-curses (couldn’t get to work without encryption, WEP worked)

[X11VNC SERVER INSTALL AND AUTOSTART]

[MINI LCD SCREEN – INCREASE SHELL FONT SIZE]
http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/11/cheap-miniature-lcd-screen/
***edit the SD cards boot.cfg, uncomment LEFT/RIGHT overscan

[IPAZZPORT BT KEYBOARD]
http://www.ctheroux.com/2012/08/a-step-by-step-guide-to-setup-a-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-on-the-raspberry-pi/

[WEBCAM]
$ sudo apt-get install guvcview
***worked out-of-the-box with HP HD-2200 1280×720 webcam

[WEBCAM STREAMING (FAST ENCODING WITH MJPG STREAMER)]
http://www.justrobots.net/?p=97
$ ./mjpg_streamer -i “./input_uvc.so” -o “./output_http.so -w ./www”
$ mjpg_streamer -i “/usr/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -r 320×240 -f 10” -o “/usr/lib/output_http.so -p 8090 -w /var/www/mjpg_streamer”
***to display the image stream just add this line to a html-file.
<img src=”http://192.168.88.120:8090/?action=stream” width=”752″>

[ARDUINO IDE]
***this works from the Adafruit Ocidentalis image, might need java packages from basic raspian image
$ sudo apt-get install arduino

[RUN A PYTHON SCRIPT AT STARTUP]
http://www.stuffaboutcode.com/2012/06/raspberry-pi-run-program-at-start-up.html
$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/nokiaLCDboot.sh | (CREATE SCRIPT)
$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/nokiaLCDboot.sh | (MAKE EXECUTABLE)
$ sudo update-rc.d nokiaLCDboot.sh defaults | (REGISTER SCRIPT)
$ sudo update-rc.d -f nokiaLCDboot.sh remove | (UNREGISTER SCRIPT)
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nokiaLCDboot.sh start

*’&’ at the end of a command runs it as a background process, returning control to the terminal.

*running as daemon – http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=37901&p=314885

[NOKIA 5110 LCD] – NEEDS EDITING
***link to post with image and pin assignments
***not sure if all of these packages are necessary. I did a lot of thrashing around to get this thing working so this isn’t very clean yet.
$ sudo apt-get install python-imaging python-imaging-tk
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install wiringpi
$ sudo pip install spidev
***unblacklist SPI then REBOOT
$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf
***turn up CONTRAST 0xc4

[GPIO BUTTON SETUP] – NEEDS EDITING
???***VCC3V -> 10K RESISTOR -> BUTTON -> GPIO 17, 22, or 25 (PIN 11, 15, 22)

[FM TRANSMITTER] – NEEDS EDITING
http://www.icrobotics.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Turning_the_Raspberry_Pi_Into_an_FM_Transmitter
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=25301&start=25
***CPU or DMA usage???

[TEXT TO SPEECH] – NEEDS EDITING
http://elinux.org/RPi_Text_to_Speech_(Speech_Synthesis)
installing pulseaudio – made it less crackly
use ESPEAK
http://www.gaggl.com/2013/01/raspberry-pi-text-to-speech/
***using this command seems to make it work
$ espeak “hello” –stdout | aplay (piping through aplay or something else seems to be critical)

[LIGHTWEIGHT WEBSERVER]
http://www.penguintutor.com/linux/light-webserver

[PHP SERIAL] – NEEDS EDITING
http://www.fritz-hut.com/php-serial-class/
USE HIS DEMO CODE… CHANGE DEVICE TO /TTYUSB0
AND BAUD RATE TO 9600
AND HAVE TO PUT THIS FILE IN /VAR/WWW/
https://code.google.com/p/php-serial/source/checkout
