2) In our sample lessons, we use Windows PC as the remote console device and PuTTY as the ssh tool
1. Please insert SD card which have installed OS into Raspberry Pi board (Attention please: you need to power off the rapsberry pi firstly), and then power on robot car.
2. Download PuTTY from: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and install this exe. in your Windows PC
3. Open PuTTY and click Session on the left tree-alike structure (generally it’s collapsed upon PuTTY startup):
4. Enter the IP address you got into the textbox under Host Name (or IP address) and 22 under Port (by default it is 22) ,then click open.
5. Note that when you first log in to the Raspberry Pi with the IP address, you’ll be prompted with a security reminder. Just click Yes. When the PuTTY window prompts login as: type in the user name: pi, and password: raspberry (the default one, if you haven’t changed it).
Note: when you’re typing the password in, the window shows nothing just null, but you’re in fact is typing things in. So just focus on typing it right and press Enter. After you log in the RPi successfully, the window will display as follows:
