Installation Instructions

These instructions will guide you through setting up Go Note Go on a Raspberry Pi 400.

1. Download the latest image from GitHub Actions artifacts.

2. Flash the image onto an SD card.

   Example commands (macOS):

   diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4
   sudo dd bs=4M if=/Users/yourusername/Downloads/go-note-go.img of=/dev/rdisk4 conv=fsync status=progress

3. Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi 400 and power it on.

   Give it a minute to boot.

4. Start the settings server.

   Type the following command and press Enter:

   :server
   

   This will start a WiFi hotspot called GoNoteGo-Wifi.

5. Connect to the GoNoteGo-Wifi hotspot.

   Connect from another device like a phone or computer. The password is: swingset.

6. Configure your Go Note Go.

   Navigate to: 192.168.4.1:8000.

   Here you can configure:

   • WiFi networks to connect to
   • Where to upload your notes
   • Other settings

   Click Save when finished.

7. Verify internet connection.

   Run the following command on the Go Note Go:

   :i
   

   It should respond out loud with 'Yes' indicating it's connected to the internet.

8. Turn off the WiFi hotspot (optional).

   Run the following command:

   :server stop
   

9. That's it! Your Go Note Go is ready to use. Happy note-taking!
