Re: Buying a RASPBERRY PI
Not necessarily, because simply copying and pasting the rasibna os image to a card won't work. The img literally has to be burnt *flashed* onto the card. There's the dd command, but even if you are comfortable with commandline you may still want to try some nice gui-wrappers for this command, so that you can at least get status reports of what's going on, as the thing with dd is that it's completely silent. WinFlashTool for windows, piFiller for osx. And Gamedude, chances are that the demo's probably dated. If it was recorded before December of 2016, then it definitely is. It used to be that ssh was enabled by default, and it was ready for use once plugged into your router. Yeah, not the case in the latest Rasbian build. Not to be inaccessible, because that wasn't why they disabled it. The Pi's default username and password are right there on the site, so they recently started disabling ssh by default as a security fix. However, not to worry, as there is a solution, if you're willing to purchase a piece of software to do this. Paragon ExtFS for Windows or mac is what you need. It's a low-level driver that embeds Linux Extended Filesystem support into your pc or mac. There are free solutions, but those have been reported to cause corruption, or have no write support, stuff like that. This one does the best job of it. It's the same guys that brought us native NTFS support for mac, it's well worth the 20 bucks. Nevertheless, the reason is that obviously, once that Rasbian image is flashed, you're done accessing the card on the computer unless you have the ExtFS driver installed. And normally, that would be alright, except in order to give us ssh access we have to copy a file to the boot volume. Actually, never mind, the boot volume is fat32, but there's another extra st ep that I took to get wifi running right out of the box. Anyway, create a file called ssh, with no extension, and save it into the boot volume of the pi. now if you wanna set up wifi on the pi itself, you don't have to buy Paragon ExtFS, but if you want to set it up beforehand, or otherwise access the pi's disk from your computer, then you'll need that extra piece of software.
