Steps for manually setting up:
Must have a way to connect to the pi over wifi/ethernet
1. Flash Raspberry Pi OS Lite onto an SD card
- Lite because we will manually install the Desktop since we really don't need the full OS
2. Enable SSH
- Create a file named `ssh`
- Also setup wpa_supplicant here if needed
3. Enable Serial over USB
- In `config.txt` append `dtoverlay=dwc2` to the end
- In `cmdline.txt` append `modules-load=dwc2,g_serial` on the same line after `rootwait` with a single space between the two.
- NOTE: if you see something like `quiet init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh` after `rootwait`, just insert it between the two, but still making sure there is a single space between everything
4. Put the SD card and power up the pi
5. SSH to the pi with `ssh pi@raspberrypi.local`
6. Add Desktop to the OS
- Just to be safe
- `sudo apt update`
- `sudo apt upgrade`
- `sudo apt dist-upgrade`
- Xorg
- `sudo apt install xserver-xorg`
- PIXEL Desktop
- `sudo apt install raspberrypi-ui-mods`
- LightDM
- `sudo apt install lightdm`
- Auto Login
- `sudo raspi-config`
- Change `Boot Options -> Desktop / CLI -> Desktop Autologin`
- Reboot
- `sudo reboot`
7. Setup HyperPixel screen (If applicable)
- In a terminal run `sudo curl https://get.pimoroni.com/hyperpixel4 | bash`
- Reboot
- `sudo reboot`
- Rotate Screen If needed
- `hyperpixel4-rotate right`
- `sudo reboot`
8. Disable Screen sleep
- Run `sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart`
- In the file add
```
@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
```
9. Setup PiDeck to run on startup
- Make a service
- `sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pideck.service`
- Set the file contents to
```
[Unit]
Description=PiDeck pi application
After=graphical.target
[Service]
Type=simple
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/pideck/main.py
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target
```
- `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
- `sudo systemctl enable pideck.service`
- Reboot again...
- `sudo reboot`
