Cerealbot/rpi

I'm using an RPi 2 model B for this project. Here are my notes.

Install OS

I'm just using Rasbian from the foundation's download page. I find Debian derivatives to be comfortable for projects such as this. You're welcome to use whatever distro you like.

I strongly recommend you follow some official guide for installing the OS if you're at all uncertain. The notes here are sparse and meant to make it faster for me to recover from a broken system.

Get the archive, extract the file. Should be along the lines of '2015-05-05-rasbian-wheezy.img'.

Flash it to the SD card: 'sudo dd if=2015...img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M'.
