Step 1: Requirements
For this u wil require some temporary and some permanent accessories
Temporary accessories are
1) USB Keyboard and Mouse
2) HDMI Cable
Permanent accessories are
1) Raspberry Pi 2 model B
2) 5V 2A USB Adapter
3) USB cable (USB to micro-USB)
4) RJ45 (LAN/Ethernet) Cable
5) At least 4gb memory card with NOOBS or Raspbian installed (If you don't know how to do this, then have a look at https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/quick-start-guide... )
6) Windows PC (Windows 7/8/10)
Step 2: Installing XRDP on Raspberry Pi
For using GUI on RPi 2 we need to install an package called XRDP server
- For installing that type the following in lx terminal :
sudo apt-get install xrdp
- Wait for sometime and you will get it installed
Step 3: Finding Ur RPi`s IP Address
Join the RJ45 i.e.LAN or Ethernet cable to Network port of ur Pi and the other end of your cable to ur router/modem
Note : Ur PC should also be connected to the same router and the router should be configured with ur pc
To communicate with the RPi from Windows u wil need to know about ur RPi`s IP Address
- To do this u need to enter the following command in ur Pi`s lxterminal :
ifconfig
- U will get something like shown in pic
- Select inet address (only numbers and dots) from the eth0 para (i dont know whether its a para or not..!!) and copy it (note it down)
Step 4: Final Configuration
Now come to your pc and search for Remote Desktop Connection in Start menu
open it
A menu will appear as shown in the pic above
- Click option/show options
- A bigger menu will appear as shown in the second pic
- Enter ur Pi`s IP Address (that we earlier found out and noted) as the name of your computer
- Enter ur user name (normally pi) as username
- And deselect the Always Ask For Credentials check box
- A window will appear with a menu in centre
- Select module as Sesman-xvmc
- Enter ur username
- Enter ur RPi login password (Normally raspberry if not changed)
- And click login
- And there u go u r having full access to all the functions of your sweet little Pi
Step 5: After Setting Up (LOGIN NEXT TIME)
- If u had deselected the Always ask for credentials check box as I told in previous step then u dont need to enter anything just enter ip and click connect
- If not then u will have to perform the previous step once again and remember to deselect the checkbox
