Now we need to install the tool to set the wifi parameters using: sudo aptitude install wicd-curses Will ask "Do you want to continue?", "Y" to say Yes and wait until a blue screen, press space to select and enter to add your user to the netdev group and wait until finish RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter" but will change depending of the model you connect.
To check if the Raspberry Pi is detecting the USB dongle, use the command: sudo lsusb You should see something similar to this "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. "Advanced Options"-"Hostname" to set the visible name of the Raspberry Pi on the network.Ĩ- The next is to activate the Wifi network "Internationalisation Options" to change the language, timezone and keyboard layout Activate "Expand Filesystem" to use all the SD card To open the configuration too: sudo raspi-config
sudo aptitude upgrade Will ask "Do you want to continue?", "Y" to say Yes and wait until finish againħ- The next is to set a few things with the Configuration Tool with these steps:
sudo aptitude update and wait until finish Now we have our user ready and the user "pi" doesnt' exist.Ħ- The next is to update the system with these steps: Now we are going to erase the user "pi" and the files of this user with the command: sudo deluser -remove-all-files pi Now we can use sudo with the new user, to check it, use: su "youruser" (without quotation marks) to change to the new user, then: sudo raspi-config, if you can open the configuration tool, the new user is ok, close the configuration tool. CTRL+X to exit, Y to save followed by enter At the last line change: pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL for: "youruser" ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL (without quotation marks) Under the line: root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL add: "youruser" ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL (without quotation marks)
To give permissions to the new user: sudo visudo Will ask for the password for that new user two times and other data sudo adduser "youruser" -force-badname (without quotation marks) TightVNC, client to connect to the Raspberry Pi desktop ( )ġ- Open Putty or any other SSH client and write the Raspberry Pi IP.Ģ- You will get a security alert, don't worry, say "Yes".ĥ- The first thing to do is to change the default username and password: Putty, SSH client to connect to the Raspberry Pi ( ) When you finish the tutorial, the Raspberry Pi and the ASIC will mine in automatic mode, will be plug and mine, if you have a power outage don't worry and if something goes wrong, unplug, plug and ready.īefore to start the tutorial, is important to know the Raspberry Pi IP and to give an static IP, the best way is with your router. Hi, I'm gonna make a super tutorial to make an automatic miner using a Raspberry Pi and a USB ASIC, in my case I'm gonna make the tutorial for a Butterfly Labs ASIC, but will be almost the same for other kind of USB devices.
