Raspberry Pi configuration API

Live since 2020

Problem Solved

Configuring a headless Raspberry Pi (without a connected monitor) can be a hurdle, especially for less technically inclined users. This web API streamlines the process, providing a user-friendly interface for essential initial setup tasks.

Tech Stack

  • ASP.NET Core (C#): Leverages a robust web framework to create the configuration API.

Challenges

  • Embedded Computing: Bridging the gap between traditional web development and the specific requirements of configuring a Raspberry Pi.
  • Raspberry Pi Ecosystem: Understanding its unique operating system and functionalities.

Key Learnings

  • Raspberry Pi Deployments: Strategies for packaging and deploying a C# application onto the Raspberry Pi.
  • Linux/Bash Exposure: Gaining experience with:
    • Command-line Tools: For interacting with the Raspberry Pi OS remotely.
    • Basic Scripting: Potentially for automating parts of the setup process.
