| GPIO | Stands for "General Purpose Input/Output." GPIO is a type of pin found on an integrated circuit that does not have a specific function. While most pins have a dedicated purpose, such as sending a signal to a certain component, the function of a GPIO pin is customizable and can be controlled by software | https://techterms.com/definition/gpio |
On your pi!
- open a terminal
- sudo sed -i s/"^#PasswordAuthentication yes"/"PasswordAuthentication yes"/ /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- sudo systemctl enable ssh
- sudo service ssh restart
Get the IP address of your rasbperry pi
- ifconfig wlan0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}'
From windows open putty and connect ot the pi using the IP address from above. In my case it is 192.168.1.240, yours will be different.
From mac or ubuntu(or any unix os) open a terminal and type ssh pi@
In both cases username = pi, and password = raspberry
If you have not created ssh keys type:
- ssh-keygen -b 4096
Now from your pi, or ssh/putty session:
- cd
- cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub
Now ....:
- highlight and copy the output from that command
- open a web browser (upper left corner, ball with lines on it on the pi)
- go to github.com and login
- in the upper right corner
- select you icon dropdown
- select settings
- select "SSH and GPG Keys"
- select "new ssh key"
- give it a name
- paste in the output from the cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub command you ran above.
