Quickstart Guide
You will be ready to go in no time!
Step 1
Burn the image to your SD-card. You can find the latest releases at downloads.pekaway.de.
To burn the image to the SD-card we recommend using balenaEtcher. We also suggest to use only high-quality SD-cards!
Step 2
Put you SD-card into the Raspberry Pi.
Step 3
Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Pekaway hat or the Pekaway relayboard.
Step 4
If you like 3d-printed cases, you can download the needed files at downloads.pekaway.de.
You can now add your peripherals like temperature sensors, measuring shunt, display, etc.
Step 5
Now, connect your battery to the Pekaway hat/relayboard. The Raspberry Pi will boot up.
Step 6
The Raspberry Pi will automatically open a Wifi Access Point to which you can connect to. The SSID is "VanPiCTRL_xxx" and the password is "pekawayfetzt".
You can then reach the web interface at http://peka.way
. If it doesn't show up, make sure you're connected to the hotspot and try to type in the whole URL (including http://).
Alternatively, the GUI can be reached at http://192.168.4.1:1880/ui
