Raspbian Pi For Robots

Dex Logo

This is a customized version of the Raspbian Image for the Raspberry Pi. It has been updated to help users get started quickly with Dexter Industries Robots.

About

This repository contains the latest and freshest updates to our software!

Download

If all this looks too complicated, don't fear! You can download a pre-configured image with the latest software here.

We have detailed step by step instructions on how to install this image onto an SD Card here.

Features

  • Samba - Samba is installed. The login credentials are "pi" and "robots1234".

Host Name

You can change the hostname of your Raspberry Pi from "dex" to whatever you like. This is particularly helpful if you have more than one Raspberry Pi on the same wifi network.

Place the microSD card in the SD card adapter, and place in your PC or Mac. Open the file "hostname" in a text editor. It should say "dex" by default. Change that name to whatever name you like, with no spaces, tabs or special characters. And be sure to use lower case letters. Save the file. Replace the SD card in the Raspberry Pi and power it up. Wait 5 minutes. Remove the power to turn off the Raspberry Pi. Power up the Raspberry Pi again. The Raspberry Pi should have the new hostname.

This Repository

These scripts manage to update the Raspbian for Robots image. These changes are all executed using the Update button on the LXE Desktop of the Raspberry Pi.

Cinch

We've developed a new way to connect using Cinch! This lets you use wifi to tether to your robot.
