%p The pi is a strange mix, development board and full pc in one. Some people use it as a pc, but not me.

%p I use the pi because it is the same price as an Arduino, but much more powerful.

%p As such i don’t use the keyboard or display and that is called headless mode, logging in with ssh.

This assumes a fresh pi, otherwise you have to append your key to the authorized ones. Also if it complains about no

id_rsa.pub then you have to generate a key pair (public/private) using ssh-keygen (no password, otherwise you’ll be typing that)
