Once the Pi boots back up, we'll need to modify the Pi's boot config file and adjust it so that it displays to the LCD properly. Installing the bootloader will take a few minutes, but when it's done, you can shutdown your Pi, and unplug any other external monitors before turning it back on. sudo apt-get update curl -SLs | sudo bash sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader The LCD requires a Kernel in order for it to work, so I'll need to download it manually from the Adafruit website (these steps are also on their instruction page). Sadly, the pre-made image didn't work for me, which is why I installed a fresh version of Raspbian. It comes connected with header pins that make it easy to fit right on top of the Raspberry Pi GPIO Pins.Īdafruit has some great documentation about setting up the Raspberry Pi, and they even have their own Raspbian Image that you can download and install with everything already on it. I'm using an Adafruit 2.8' Touchscreen LCD. Now you should be able to log in from a remote computer using SSH. Then on the 'Localisation' tab, set your keyboard language settings to match your country. On the 'Interfaces' tab, select to enable SSH. To finish up, click on the start menu in the upper left go to Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration. Here, you'll want to make sure wlan0 is selected and then give it a static IP address that matches the IP scheme of your network. Next you can right click on that same icon, and select 'Wireless and Wired Network Settings'. Then inter your password and click 'connect'. The first thing you want to do is connect to your internet by clicking on the internet icon in the upper right and selecting your wireless network.

After a minute or so, it should boot to the Desktop. It's a large file, so it may take a while to download.īut once it has, you can burn it to your SD card using the Etcher.io software for Windows, Mac and Linux.Īfter you've successfully copied the files to the SD card, you can put it in your Raspberry Pi, plug in the monitor, keyboard, mouse and then the power. You can download the latest Raspbian software from here.

With the hardware set, we next need to load the software onto the PI. As with any project using a Raspberry Pi, the first step is to get it set up.
