Setting Up Raspberry Pi

Install mpg123 MP3 Player

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install alsa-utils mpg123
• sudo reboot
• sudo modprobe snd_bcm2835
• sudo amixer cset numid=3 1

Here the output is being set to 1, which is analog (headphone jack). Setting the output to 2 switches to HDMI. The default setting is 0 which is automatic. To change the volume, enter

amixer set PCM -- 85%

Configure RaspberryPi to Communicate with Arduino Mega

• sudo systemctl stop [email protected]
• sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
• sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
  • You will see something like: dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes root wait
  • Remove the line console=serial0,115200 and then save and reboot for changes to take effect.
