Most instructions I could find in the internet are very outdated or just really hard to follow. Most of them require you to know quite a bit about Linux and command line strings. And most of them do not work very well or at all.
I spent weeks going through many tutorials, downloading many disk images and lots of software, typing command line strings, translating Russian and none of them worked right or took advantage of the newer hardware available. So I took it upon myself to do it right!
This tutorial is very easy to follow and covers all the bases and questions that I had when trying to get everything working. I used the newest hardware and software. I also configured it with the Custom build "Pulse"!! Then I installed all the needed Linux drivers and the newest version of Hyperion. Once I had everything working, I made a disk image that you can use! This will make it all very easy to get it up and running!

Very easy to follow and build as I have done all the setup for you!

Here are links to the software programs you will need:
Raspberry Pi SD card Image, Arduino Sketch, Win32DiskImager and Hypercon.jar:
