Raspberry Pi Displays

The Cheesy Arena hardware includes a number of Raspberry Pis that are intended to be used as remote displays (rankings, queueing, field monitor, etc.).

The Pis are running the configurations and startup software contained at https://github.com/Team254/cheesy-arena-rpi.

Usage instructions

1. Connect the Raspberry Pi to the field Ethernet network, and to a monitor/TV via the HDMI port.
2. Connect the USB power.
3. Wait for the Pi to power up and display a yellow number (the display ID) on a black background. If the background stays blank forever, the Pi is probably not properly connected to the network or Cheesy Arena is not running.
4. Use the Setup -> Display Configuration page in Cheesy Arena to find the display by its ID and assign it a function.

Wireless networking

The Raspberry Pis also can connect to a WiFi network; however, they must be manually and individually configured to do so. By default they will connect to a network with the SSID "Cheesy Arena" and WPA key "12Three45". They can be configured differently via the graphical interface using a USB keyboard and mouse, or via SSH by editing /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
