Exercise 1: Connect up the Raspberry Pi with the lapdock (hint: you need two cables), and turn it all on. | |||
Exercise 2: Logging in. | |||
The RPis have got the so-called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbie NOOBS] image installed. You will need these details to log in: | |||
username: pi | |||
password: raspberry | |||
You will then get to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface command-line interface], and see the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prompt_(computing)#Command_prompt command prompt], where you can type commands. If you type | |||
startx | |||
and press enter, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface graphical user interface] will launch. | |||
Shutting down from the graphical users interface: explore bottom right of screen (power down), and select logout on any windows that require it. When you get back to the to the command line, type | |||
sudo halt | |||
to safely shut down the pi. The lights on the RPi will flash for a little longer, and you'll see the shut down sequence on the screen. The RPi then turns off, and can be disconnected. | |||
= Getting started with Raspberry Pi on your own= | |||
Just in case you want to use these tutorials on your own, here is some basic information. However, if you are coming to our workshop, you don't really need to read this in detail - just skim it so that you know what a Raspberry Pi is! | Just in case you want to use these tutorials on your own, here is some basic information.
