### Get a shell on the Pi
If you have a monitor with an hdmi input, a mini hdmi to hdmi cable, a usb keyboard and a micro usb power cable you can hook up the devices to the Pi and configure it directly. Plug it in and turn it on. When you're prompted for the password for the user "pi" use "raspberry" without the quotes. Now skip to section below titled "Get the scripts onto the Pi".
If you don't have a keyboard/HDMI setup to boot the Pi and edit/transfer files directly, you'll probably want to connect to it over USB. See the sections below for instructions.
If you don't have a keyboard/HDMI setup to boot the Pi and edit/transfer files directly, you'll probably want to connect to it over USB.
#### Seting up the Pi without a monitor using Windows
1. Download and install:
* [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) Alternatively, any other text editor which is capable of editing files with Unix-style line endings.
* [Putty]( https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html) Note: You can paste into Putty by right-clicking. No matter where you right-click, the content will be inserted at the position of the cursor, as if you had typed it in.
1. Watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj3MPmJhAPU) The instructions from the video are recreated below, with some changes.
1. Open the config.txt file on the sd card with Notepad++
1. Add this line to the end of the file
```
dtoverlay=dwc2
```
1. Add a blank line to the end of the file.
1. Open cmdline.txt with Notepad++
1. Find the word "rootwait", add this text, separated by spaces, between rootwait and the word following it:
```
modules-load=dwc2,g_ether
```
1. Create a file named ssh (with no extension) at the root
1. Eject the sd card
1. Move the sd card to the Pi.
1. Connect a micro usb cable to the port labeled "USB" on the Raspberry Pi, and to the PC.
1. On the PC, press your Windows key, type Control Panel.
1. Open "Network and Sharing Center"
1. Click "Change adapter settings"
1. Wait for something labeled "USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget" to appear.
1. Launch Putty
1. In the Host Name box enter
```
pi@raspberrypi.local
```
1. If you get an "unknown host" error message install Bonjour: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999 and go back to step 17.
1. Password is raspberry
1. Skip down to the section titled "Get the scripts onto the Pi"
If you're using Windows, follow [these instructions](GetShellWithoutMonitorOnWindows.md), then skip down to the section titled "Get the scripts onto the Pi".
#### Seting up the Pi without a monitor using a Mac or Linux
Basically what you're doing is using the Pi's capability to emulate a network connection over USB. So you need to get the Pi (the guest) set up to load the proper modules to do so, and then connect from your machine (the host) using a shell (like iTerm+SSH on macOS).
Here are a few ways to accomplish this
* [Gist (text file) showing example steps and discussion thread about issues, etc](https://gist.github.com/gbaman/975e2db164b3ca2b51ae11e45e8fd40a)
* [Script to setup the Pi for connecting over USB](https://github.com/BigNate1234/rpi-USBSSH)
* (I.e. First write the OS image to the SD card, then this script will make the changes to the card so you can boot it and access it over the USB cable.
* **Assumes the SD card for the Pi is mounted at /Volumes/boot , and that you can use `sh`/`bash`**. This _should_ be the default for a Mac; if using something else, modify the script accordingly.
If you're using Linux or a Mac, follow [these instructions](GetShellWitoutMonitorOnLinux.md), then proceed to the next section.
### Get the scripts onto the Pi
Now that you have a shell on the Pi you can turn the Pi into a smart USB drive.
1. Enter the following command.
```
sudo -i
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
```
1. Add this block to the bottom of the file specifying the actual SSID of your network and your actual PSK, keeping the quotes around both values.
```
network={
ssid="NETWORK"
psk="PASSWORD"
ssid="NETWORK"
psk="PASSWORD"
}
```
1. Configure the wifi to ensure that your Pi has access to your network. Note that this command differs from what's described in the video above.

```
sudo wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure
wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure
```
1. Run this command
```
ifconfig wlan0
```
1. Verify that there's an IP address on your subnet assigned.
1. Run:
```
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
```
1. Remove the g_ether parameter and the comma preceding it, so you have
1. Run these commands, subsituting your values:
```
modules-load=dwc2
export archiveserver=Nautilus
export sharename=SailfishCam
export shareuser=sailfish
export sharepassword=pa$$w0rd
```
1. Figure out how much space to allocate for your usb drive. First run these command:
1. Run these commands:
```
size="$(($(df --output=avail / | tail -1) - 1000000))"
echo $size
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cimryan/teslausb/master/windows_archive/setup-teslausb
chmod +x setup-teslausb
./setup-teslausb
```
1. If the number is negative, stop; you're using a MicroSD card that's too small. Otherwise:
1. Run this command:
```
sudo fallocate -l "$size"K /piusb.bin
reboot
```
1. Create a filesystem for the drive:
```
sudo mkdosfs /piusb.bin -F 32 -I
```
1. Create the mount point from which the scripts will copy the clips:
```
sudo mkdir /mnt/usb_share
```
1. Create the mount point for the network share to which the clips will be copied:
```
sudo mkdir /mnt/cam_archive
```
1. Tell the system how to connect the mount points to actual data:
```
sudo nano /etc/fstab
```
1. Add this line to the end of the file.
```
/piusb.bin /mnt/usb_share vfat noauto,users,umask=000 0 0
```
1. Add this line to the end of the file. Change the IP address here (192.168.0.41) to the actual IP address of the machine hosting your archive. Change the name of the share "SailfishCam" to the actual name of the share you created. Note: This is a single line.
```
//192.168.0.41/SailfishCam /mnt/cam_archive cifs vers=3,credentials=/root/.teslaCamArchiveCredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
```
1. Create the credential file:
```
sudo nano /root/.teslaCamArchiveCredentials
```
1. Enter this content, specifying the actual user name and password for the user you created on the archive machine:
```
username=sailfish
password=pa$$w0rd
```
1. Get the script which will archive the clips.
```
sudo mkdir /root/bin
sudo -i
cd /root/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cimryan/teslausb/master/windows_archive/archive-teslacam-clips
chmod +x archive-teslacam-clips
exit
```
1. Verify that the archive server is reachable by name. Replace "archiveserver" with the actual name of your archive server.
```
ping archiveserver
```
1. If the name isn't resolvable, try its IP address.
```
ping 192.168.0.41
```
1. Get the script which will continually check for access to the archive server and trigger the archival:
```
sudo -i
cd /root/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cimryan/teslausb/master/windows_archive/archiveloop
chmod +x archiveloop
exit
```
1. Edit the script and replace archiveserver on line 4 with the name or IP address of your archive server.
1. Make the scripts run at startup:
```
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
```
1. Change the very first line in the file to
```
#!/bin/bash -eu
```
1. Add this content before the last line (exit 0):
```
LOGFILE=/tmp/rc.local.log
function log () {
echo "$( date )" >> "$LOGFILE"
echo "$1" >> "$LOGFILE"
}
log "Running fsck..."
/sbin/fsck /mnt/usb_share -- -a >> "$LOGFILE" 2>&1 || echo ""
log "Running modprobe..."
/sbin/modprobe g_mass_storage >> "$LOGFILE" 2>&1
log "Launching archival script..."
/root/bin/archiveloop &
log "All done"
1. Set the configuration for the g_mass_storage module:
```
sudo -i
cd /etc/modprobe.d
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cimryan/teslausb/master/g_mass_storage.conf
exit
```
1. Reboot the Pi:
```
sudo reboot
```
### Get the Pi set up for your Tesla.
If you set up the Pi with a keyboard and a monitor disconnect it and connect it to a PC. If you're using a cable be sure to use the cable labeled "usb" on the circuitboard.
