Raspberry Pi and Karaoke Machine (Initial Setup and OS)

babusingh9211

Hello everyone,

 

This is my 3rd blog post on Karaoke machine. After receiving my kit I started working on designing karaoke device till 2AM midnight. And I found 3 different ways to setup karaoke on raspberry pi.
But before this you need to setup Raspberry Pi and proper OS should be installed in order to use RPi as karaoke.

So for that I am writing this post.

Setting up Raspberry Pi

 

What we need?

  1. Power Adaptor
  2. SD Card
  3. HDMI or RCA connector
  4. Ethernet Cable (Optional)
  5. USB Keyboard and Mouse

Step to follow

  1. Insert SD memory card having a proper OS in it. Follow the SD card installation procedure below to install OS in the SD card.(In my case I have pre-installed NOOBs)
  2. a. Connect it with the Digital display using HDMI cable. Or use HDMI to VGA convertor to connect it with computer monitor.
    b. Otherwise connect it with analogue display using RCA cable.
  3. Plug in USB keyboard and mouse.
  4. Optional step: Connect it with network using Ethernet cable.
  5. Plug the micro USB power adaptor. and power it up. (Note that for Raspberry Pi Model B 800mA+  power adaptor is used)

 

SD card Installation

 

  1. First download SD formatter, Disk Imager (windows only), DD (unix) and Raspberry Pi Operating System.
  2. Install the program format the SD formatter.
  3. Run the SD formatter and select the SD card drive and format it with following setting.

  1. Extract the image downloaded from raspberrypi.org.
  2. For NOOBs extract the zip file into the SD Card. And for the single image file of OS, Unzip the Win32diskimager and select the image file and write it to the target SD card.

(Note: It will resize the partition size of the SD card. You can only see 55mb or approximately this size of partition, so no need to worry about your SD card corruption. If you need to use SD back as normal follow Step 3.)

 

Procedure to install OS from NOOBs

 

1.      For the first time booting up. It prompt to select the OS from several OS (Arch, OpenELEC, Pidora, RaspBMC, Raspbian and RiscOS).

2.      As everyone I also to recommend to install Raspbian. Alternatively you can install other OS.

3.      Select the Raspbian and click on install OS. Confirm the dialog box. This will install the Raspbian in SD card in few minutes.

4.      Once it installed. Restart the Raspberry Pi. It will ask you to change the setting if you want to change the setting.

5.      Then hit Finish.

6.      Once you finished it will load the pi.

7.      Login with user: pi and password: raspberry .

8.      You can also login with SSH but you need to connect it with network.

 

 

I think this is ok for the initial setup. If you have any problem and query regarding this don’t hesitate to ask. If you have any suggestion’ please comment below. For now this is all what I have.
