For example,

and

Update:

My first usage boot up when without a hitch. I had built and modified a download of Jessie Lite off http:www.raspberrypi.org/download/rasbian/.

With expansion to 4GB card and simple mods, I am using about 1GB which is nice for my future needs (no X11 windows). Here is a picture of the setup as a headless.

I have a Rave Power and use the smart port for 2.1 Amps.

I will play more and report new things here.

Enjoy your projects like I enjoy mine,
