Hi,
I am totally new to this forum so I apologize for my stupid questions and newbie mind.
I recently made a project of a garage door opener. I connected my Pi to my garage door using apache and a PHP page by following a tutorial online. I just followed the steps in the tutorial so I'm not familiar yet with the words used but I know my way around a little bit. Since I'm not using a monitor and I have to carry the Pi around (it will not be permanently on my garage operator, this project is a small step of a bigger project), I can't see when the Pi is booted or not or when it is ready to work. I have to plug the Pi, go to my PHP webpage and press the buttons until something works (I push a LED turn on button). Then I know that my Pi is ready to work. I was thinking maybe I can add an LED that lights up when the Pi has done booting instead of always pushing my LED turn on button.
Is there a way to run do something that runs the LED turn on button just to tell me that if I had a monitor connected, I would see the desktop of the Pi?
I did some research online and all I could find was making the Pi run a program instead of booting and that's not what I want. I just want an indication that the Pi is on the desktop even though I don't have a monitor to see it.
Thank you
