Prep Work...
For this PlayShop we have a very short period of time (1 Hour) to complete a simple Raspberry Pi Project.
I also wanted to complete a project that only required you to have a basic setup - Raspberry Pi, Power Supply, SD Card with Raspberry Pi OS, Monitor, Keyboard/Mouse (or VNC Connection) and an Internet Connection.
We will be using a tutorial from GitHub to Create a System Health Dashboard for your Raspberry Pi using Initial State
https://github.com/InitialState/pi-health-dashboard/wiki
My setup is a Raspberry Pi 3B+ in a Pi-Top Ceed with Keyboard/Mouse and a fresh copy of Raspberry PI OS installed on the SD card.
If you have time please update your Raspberry Pi OS before hand
ONLY DO THIS STEP IS YOU ARE SEEING THIS BEFORE THE PLAYSHOP.
In Terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
STEP 1:
You will need to setup an account on Initial State. (We are using the FREE Student Account - Use your .edu address)
