Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi is more than just a board that you can load a few programs onto and have a litte fun; it is a fully fledged computer! We are looking forward to seeing all the fun you're able to have by connecting your Raspberry Pi to your RVR+ or RVR.
We will be using a Python SDK on the Raspberry Pi and RVR+/RVR, but more on that later.
Pull down the newest Python SDK from the GitHub repo!
Required Equipment
To follow this guide, you will need the following:
A Raspberry Pi 3, 3B+, 4 or Zero W
(Raspberry Pi 5 not officially support but may work using its own power source)
USB keyboard and mouse for the Raspberry Pi
HDMI monitor and cable to connect it to your Raspberry Pi (Pi 4 and Zero W require specialized cables or adapters)
USB power source and cable for the Pi
Three female to female jumper wires
Supported Boards
The RVR+/RVR Raspbery Pi Python SDK is officially supported on Raspberry Pi 3, 3B+, 4 and Zero W. It can also be used on other linux-based single-board-computers (SBCs) with some tweaks, but that won't be covered here.
Let's Get Started
Choose the best setup path for you. Which of the following describes you?
A. I am new to Raspberry Pi, or just want the quickest and simplest setup path.
You should start with a preconfigured micro SD card image for the easiest starting point. Use the instructions on this page to get started.
B. I have a Pi already set up, and I'm familiar with using terminal. I want to use this Pi with RVR+/RVR.
Great! Follow these instructions to use our first-time setup script.
