HDMI Output

Hi I currently have a PI running thr low write version of the emoncms. I can address and program the PI via putty but it would be nice to use the HDMI and USB keyboard interfaces. If I plug my HDMI screen into the PI I do not get any output please can you tell me how interface with the PI using the HDMI and USB keyboard. Thanks B

Re: HDMI Output

Hello Brian,

If your Pi is already running when you connect your HDMI monitor, your monitor wont display anything. The monitor needs to be connected when the PI is booted. Sounds like rebooting might be all you need to do. A USB keyboard should literally be plug and play, but you may need to configure your keyboard for your locale. You can configure your keyboard with sudo raspi-config.

If raspi-config isn't installed on your Pi, you can use sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration.

Regards,

Bill
