How to do with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

Raspberry Pi 3 as seen a significant increase in notoriety in recent years not only among programmers and developers but also among dozens of multimedia and retrogaming enthusiasts. In the version that I proved (rev.3 model B+), single board pc, most famous has increased its technique features among other things by providing Wi-Fi and Bluethoot connectivity.

RASPBERRY PI 3 MODEL B+:

  • Processor 1,2GHz a 64-bit (ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core);
  • 1GB of RAM;
  • Bluetooth 4.1;
  • HDMI port;
  • Ethernet;
  • MicroSD;
  • 4 USB ports;
  • Broadcom VideoCore IV 3D graphics card;
  • 40 GPIO pins;
  • Display Interface;
  • Camera Interface.

For to feed our Raspberry, we suggest you, regardless of the use we will make of it, to equip you with a usb power supply for mobile phones that at the output provides at least 5V 2.1A even better than the output delivers 5V 3A.

First start

raspberry
Raspberry pi 3

Like fist step we should get hold of an Micro SD and format it with the SD Formatter program; later, you must download the SO most suited to our needs, we will use Raspbian in the its light version, that is without graphic interfacethat is much light, and we will install with the Software win32 disk imager on the our SD card (obviously the procedure is for machines with Windows system).

At this point there is nothing left to do that: to insert our SD in Raspberry, to feed our card through Mini USB with the power supply you purchased and connect it at our LAN. For to dialogue with it we will use an Client SSH, that on Windows will be putty.

How to connect to Raspberry

For to be able to communicate with our board remotely for first thing we’ll have to know the IP assigned to it by our router; for know it we will make use of Angry IP Scanner, that once installed and launched, it will provide a detailed list of all devices connected to our home network.

Once we have identified the IP of our Raspberry we will provide you a putty that after click on the button “open”, if everything went well, will open a command line terminal in a window where you will be asked to enter your username and password (by default user: Pi pass: Raspberry).

To configure static IP

Once logged in it will be useful to set a static IP address so as not to have to search for it from time to time as done before. To set the static IP we will have to give the command:

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Nano is nothing but Raspbian text editor; moving inside it with the directional arrows and removing the following values

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.1

where for address we will set the last triad with a number between 2-254 (example. da 192.168.1.2 a 192.168.1.254) while the remaining two values, Network and Netmask, are the default on almost all routers. We save with Ctrl+x and confirm with S or Y the name of the file and now to the next start of the our Raspberry for connect via the terminal we will have to provide a putty static IP address chosen by us.

Latest configurations

As a last step we just have to go and make the last adjustments to the configuration file of the stalk. By giving the command:

sudo raspi-config

will open a shell where we will go to setup all the basic hardware configurations of our Raspberry. A very useful thing will be to expand the root partition are going to select the entry “expand_rootfs“;or set a new password (change_pass), set the keyboard characters (change_locale), or to enter the time zone (change_timezone). It should be specified that the Raspberry does not have its own internal clock, so setting the location is used to retrieve the time via the internet.
