Raspberry-Pi --- Custom Tools I use (With a Cyberpunk flavor)

All Raspberry Pi Backups, Commands, Instructions for baasic installation of tools I use.

To Install tools:

1. SSH into your Linux operating system with Terminal application on Windows, MacOS or Linux. (Replace the with the IP Address the device/computer/machine is addigned to on your local network)

ssh <user>@<ip address>

Example if your device had an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and the user name was "root".:

ssh root@192.168.1.100

2. Copy and paste the following into terminal to run and install my custom menu. (Cyberpunk themed whiptail menu... FTW...)

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jdomian/Raspberry-Pi/main/_install.sh --output _install.sh
chmod +x _install.sh
sudo ./_install.sh

Access Windows Shared drive on Linux (smb:// drive)

Reference:

https://www.maketecheasier.com/mount-windows-share-folder-linux/

Use Case:

To access root directory from a Windows shared folder via Linux to edit code through code-server installed on RPi4 and hosted at code-server.domian.network.

Steps & Commands:

1. Create a Windows shared folder on a Windows machine. Give Full control access to all users. We will reference this folder as "SharedFolderNameOnWindows" in the next steps.
2. On Linux, install CIFS-utils. Run:

cd 
sudo apt install cifs-utils

3. Make a directory on Linux where you will mount the shared drive. Name this directory whatever you want. Example, run:

sudo mkdir /mnt/WindowsSharedFolder

4. Once directory is created, run the following with the network address of the Windows machine and the file path for the Windows machine's shared folder. Change <admin user> to the admin user on the Windows machine.

mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/c$/inetpub/wwwroot/SharedFolderNameOnWindows /mnt/WindowsSharedFolder -o user=<admin user>

This should prompt you for a "ghosted" password. Enter the password for the user=<admin username> used in the above command.

5. Windows drive should now be accessible on Linux at /mnt/WindowsSharedFolder.

All bash commands for file share:

cd 
sudo apt install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /mnt/WindowsSharedFolder
mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/c$/inetpub/wwwroot/SharedFolderNameOnWindows /mnt/WindowsSharedFolder -o user=<admin user>

Bluetooth connect Keyboard and Mouse to Raspberry Pi via CLI

Reference: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/how-to-setup-bluetooth-on-a-raspberry-pi-3/

Should work for factory Raspian OS installed. Others are untested.

Steps & Commands:

1. In terminal, change directory into "home" folder for user.

cd

2. Run the following to start bluetooth services.

sudo bluetoothctl

3. Turn on the bluetooth agent for detection.

agent on

4. Turn scanning on...

scan on

5. Look through list for MAC address and/or names of bluetooth devices you want to connect. Take note of MAC address, and "pair" by typing in "pair" followed by the devices MAC address.

pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

6. If you're pairing a keyboard, you will need to enter a six-digit string of numbers. You will see that the device has been paired, but it may not have connected. To connect the device, type connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.

connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

All bash commands for bluetooth -- Personal MAC addresses for Keychron K4 (Bluetooth Input 3) and MX Master 3 (Bluetooth Input 3) below:

cd
echo This is for Keychron K4 and MX Master 3 using bluetooth input "3" on both devices.
sudo bluetoothctl
agent on
scan on
echo Pairing Keychron K4 (Bluetooth Input 3)
pair dc:2c:26:d4:f8:2b
echo Pairing MX Master 3 (Bluetooth Input 3)
pair c1:6c:7e:13:63:d5
