- A. FITTING THE RASPBERRY PI
Required Accessories
Accessories Installation
Raspberry Pi board Installation
- 1) Remove the four screws at the bottom of the chassis and remove the bottom cover
MSATA SSD SHOULD BE INSTALLED BEFORE FITTING THE RASPBERRY PI.
- 2) Connect the power & IR cable from Raspberry Pi to the 2-pin male pin header
- 3) Plugs the HDMI daughter board into the 14-pin HDMI female pin header
- 4) Connect the cable of USB daughter board to the 3-pin PH connector
- 5) Screwing the Raspberry Pi board
B. POWER ON / OFF
TO TURN ON
- 1) HDMI cable and power adapter should be connected before powering on.
- 2) Touch the power symbol and hold until the colorful breathing light is ON.
TO SHUTDOWN
- 1) Power off your system using the system menu - IMPORTANT!
- 2) Touch the power symbol and hold until the colorful breathing light is OFF.
- 3) It is recommended to unplug the power supply unit when you are not using it.
C1. OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - OSMC C2. OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - VOLUMIO C3. OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - RASPBIAN JESSIE
- Based on RASPBIAN JESSIE
Version: March 2016 Release date: 2016-03-18 Kernel version: 4.1 HDMI setting
- <1> To ensure that the necessary kernel modules are loaded at boot
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt
- <2> Uncomment following three lines in config.txt by removing '#' located at start of the line. (check Images below)
hdmi_force_hotplug=1 pretends that HDMI device is always attached hdmi_group specifies whether monitor is DMT type (Computers) or CEA type (TV) hdmi_mode specifies the resolution of monitor.
- <3> For hdmi_group value selection : If you’re using output as Computer monitor then replace value ’1′ with ’2′, so the new config will be like :
hdmi_group=2
(Select value 1 for TV, Select value 2 for monitor)
- <4> For hdmi_mode value selection : Now open eLinux RPi config scroll down, there in hdmi_mode two tables are given, select the correct resolution as per your monitor.
(Table1 if you’re using TV & Table2 if you’re using Monitor)
Since my monitor’s resolution is 1440×900 px, hdmi_mode=47 fits me the best. So, the modified config.txt will be like.
hdmi_mode=47
Overall my uncommented lines will look something like :
- <5> adding the "hdmi_drive=2" line at the bottom
- <6> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
- <7> Reboot your Raspberry Pi
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo reboot
- <8> Mouse right click the speaker icon and select audio output of HDMI
- Testing the IR receiver
- <9> Installing LIRC
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install lirc
- <10> Add the two lines below to /etc/modules . This will start the modules up on boot. Pin 8 bellow will be used to take the output from the IR sensor.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/modules
lirc_dev lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=2
- <11> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
- <12> If you are using 3.18.x RaspberryPi firmware you must modify one additional file for the lirc-rpi kernel extension to be loaded:
Edit your /boot/config.txt file
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt
and add:
dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=2
- <13> Edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and have it appear exactly as shown below.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # # Arguments which will be used when launching lircd LIRCD_ARGS="--uinput" # Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file # START_LIRCMD=false # Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist. # START_IREXEC=false # Try to load appropriate kernel modules LOAD_MODULES=true # Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers. DRIVER="default" # usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" MODULES="lirc_rpi" # Default configuration files for your hardware if any LIRCD_CONF="" LIRCMD_CONF=""
- The highlighted text are the parts that will need changing, though it’s worth checking the rest of the text incase you have a different initial configuration.
- <14> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
- <15> Reboot the Raspberry Pi
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo reboot
- <16> Run these two commands to stop lircd and start outputting raw data from the IR receiver:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
- <17> Point a remote control at your IR receiver and press some buttons. You should see something like this:
