Raspberry Pi 4 Setup
Install and run AutoFarm3D on your own Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB+).
Required Materials:
Step 1: Load SD Card
1.1 Format SD Card
Formatting erases all data on the sd card
Make sure you have backed up any important files before proceeding.

Do not set a custom username for your Pi.
It will not boot if the username is not exactly 'pi'.
1.4 Write to SD Card
We recommend using Ethernet. If you would like to connect using wifi please follow these instructions.
- Click ‘SD Card’ and select your SD card.
- Select ‘Write’ and wait until it's finished. Writing to the SD card may take up to 15 minutes.
Step 2: Plug Everything In!
Begin with Pi turned off and unplugged.
