AD2PI

Official Raspbian Image

This is the recommended way of starting out with your AD2PI. We've gone ahead and done all the initial work to make it and your Raspberry Pi work together out of the box. Just follow the instructions for flashing the SD card from Raspberry Pi.

Changes from Raspbian

• Disabled serial console so that the device can use it.
• Installed ser2sock to expose the AlarmDecoder on your network.
• Installed the AlarmDecoder Python library.

   • kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200
4. Remove the following line from /etc/inittab:

5. Sync and halt your Raspberry Pi.
