Astro Pi initial Setup

[popeyesfx]

Hi

This is a noobs question so please be patient with me, I have 3d printed a astro pi and build the unit using a kit from cpc. however it did not come with a sd card so i have installed a new install of raspbian jessie. I have been following the instructions from the astro-pi-flight-case tutorial, but it deos not mension what version of raspbian i should use. Also, at the bottom it says about installing some overlays but when i try i get the following error :

Code: Select all

Well i fixed the error issue, turns out to be a dns issue with virgin , so just set googles dns servers up in the router and downloads fine. Still would like to know about an image for astro pi

cheers

The Astro Pi kits, for this year's challenge, will be using this NOOBS image which is based on Jessie. This will give you working push buttons out of the box.
