Digi-Key probably. > Although mpja has single 40 wide female/female 8" long @ $3.95/copy, and > they have the hdmi stuff, click, click,,, be here Tuesday or > Wednesday. :) So, some suggestions about "Start With Raspi" : download https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest It's minimal raspian image and a good point to start. ######################## #from now i will comment all non commands #Copy the image to one of your sd-card with # sudo dd if=<imagename> of=</dev/of-our-sdcardreader-without-partitionnumber> bs=4096 #ie: (please change the device!!!!!) # get it with dmesg after plugging the cardreader with the sd sudo dd if=2016-09-23-raspbian-jessie-lite.img of=/dev/sdg bs=4096 sudo sync (not really necessary) #You do not need a hdmi for the first steps if you have a dhcp-server in your net. #we are klingon tinkerer. ;) #after the raspi has booted (blinking net leds) you can optain the ip with #sudo nmap -sn (your subnet) #ie: sudo nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 <http://192.168.1.0/24> #then connect to the raspi: ssh -Y pi@<raspi-ip> (passwd: raspberry) #now on the raspi: # and resize the fs to the size of your sd-card. # http://elinux.org/RPi_Resize_Flash_Partitions sudo raspi-config #comment off ######################## if this works further instructions are following soon. > Thanks everybody. > > Cheers, Gene Heskett Much fun!
