[QUOTE="beardie, post: 2021509, member: 3"] Well, Raspberry Pis are pretty simple. It’s just a computer with the hardware interfaces on it. There are libraries used to access the hardware, send signals, etc. it looks like this project is largely taking the camera connector and extending it to a spectroscope, right? So, I suspect the first step is getting a basic Pi running… again, Pis are just computers. So first thing is to get the image to boot an operating system. I see the project said this: You want to get an image for that. If you Google how to create raspberry pi sd card, I’m sure you can find the tools. I forget what I use on my Mac. But it is just a simple SD card writer that will take an image file and write it to the card. The OS image you can get from the official raspberry pi site. Once you burn the image on the card, you insert it into the pi. You’ll want a monitor, and keyboard. It boots like any Linux computer. Once booted, login (usually as the user account named “pi”. Then you will need to install some simple tools for git if not on by default, using apt-get command (package installer for Ubuntu Linux based OS’s). Then he has commands to sync his GitHub repo scripts. Then you connect hardware. Make sure the libraries he mentions are installed and I’m guessing just run the python scripts he has. I’m not sure how that all works. But it looks just like install stuff, run stuff. :) [/QUOTE]
