So you need help?
Working with electronics and computers is challenging even for the experienced, so don't worry if you've ended up on to this page. Here we've gathered the resources we recommend in helping you go forward in the process of building your Tempura.
​Part I: Setting up the Raspberry Pi
If you're inexperienced with programming and writing in the terminal we recommend to use the desktop version. This is something you choose during installation
​Part II: Adding temperature sensor, GPS & display
The difficult part here is wiring the cables correctly.​ Follow the diagram closely and take your time. It should look something like this, but with the display free by letting the cables connect directly to the pins on the display in the same column:
​
More resources for wiring, and the software of the modules as well, are the following:​
​Part III: Adding the software
Writing code in the terminal can be tricky, but copy the commands in our instructions. For more information how to create a service on the raspberry pi, here's a tutorial:​​
​Part IV: Adding the enclosure
In this part you can get creative with your solution, only make sure that you enclose the electronics in a way that makes it waterproof enough to come along on your fishing trip.
​Part V: Test it for the first time
If something doesn't work on your first test make sure to go back to earlier parts and check that everything has been done correctly.
If you solely have used the Raspberry Pi with a desktop and it doesn't run the program when you turn it on without a desktop you'll need to do the following.
1. Open the terminal. Write the command
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
2. In the file that comes edit one of the rows so it reads:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
3. Save (ctl+S) and exit (ctl+X)
4. Write this in the terminal now:
sudo raspi-config
5. In the interface that shows up, go to "Interface options".
6. If you don't have strong password or still the default option make sure to change that now to a strong password before continuing. This is important.
7. Under "Interface Options", enable VNC.
8. Go back to the first page of the interface and choose "Display options" instead and set the VNC resolution to something other than default.
​Part VI: Submit the data
To transfer the data from the Raspberry Pi to your other computer, there are multiple options. Here is a tutorial on this matter: How to Copy Data from a Raspberry Pi to PC
