Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool

This section explains all of the settings I found important to change on the Raspberry Pi OS using the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool. This section is completely optional, Klipper will work just fine without doing any of the changes listed below.

The subsections contained within this module are:

• Changing the Default Password

• Changing the Hostname

• Changing the Localisation Options

Loading the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool:

• In Windows open a command prompt;

  • Windows Key + R, type cmd, then click OK;

Command Prompt

• In the Command Prompt window;

  • Type ssh pi@<ipaddress> and press Enter;

ssh pi

• A message will display 'The authenticity of host 'ip address' can't be established…';

  • Type yes and press Enter;

Authenticity

• You should prompted to enter a password;

  • The default password is raspberry, type the password and press Enter

While entering the password it will not show the characters being entered in the command window.

Password

Sometimes the ssh connection will close after after accepting the 'fingerprint' during the step above. If this happens just re-establish the connection;

• Type ssh pi@<ipaddress> and press Enter;

• Type raspberryfor the password and press Enter

Connection Closed

• You should now be logged into MainsailOS with SSH;

MainsailOS

• Send a sudo raspi-config command, then press Enter;

sudo raspi-config

• You will be prompted to enter the password;

  • Type raspberry and press Enter;

Password

• The 'Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool' main menu should appear;
