Using a raspberry pi to display Google Calendars

This explains the set up of our very basic status screen to displays Google calendars here at booncon.

Install the raspberry pi

Download and put the most current https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ image to an SD Card. On OSX that works great with http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/raspberry-pi/macosx-apple-pi-baker/, just use the restore option and select the unzipped image file.

Set up the operation system basics

After the first boot, the raspi-config utility should load up.
