Recently, more and more people made things with Raspberry Pi and it became more and more popular. As we know, Raspberry Pi always come without screen or display, and i am a "code monkey" which means i am a programmer as my work. I don't use graphic environment all the time, I used to connect Raspberry Pi with a ssh session( secure shell session), and i love the command line prompt, it made me professional, But I was confused by figuring out which ip should i connected to when i want to connect to my Raspberry Pi, and also once it connected to the power supply, it lose mobility. So, I made this MobilePi for mobility and showing IP address of Raspberry Pi freely.

Step 1: Step 1: What We Need to Make This Mobile Pi.

First of all, let's check out what we need to make this mobile Pi.

Component List:

-------------------------------

1 x Raspberry Pi 3 model B

1 x 16GB TF card with Raspbian image burned.

1 x MicroUSB cable

1 x Pi supply & USB HUB

1 x 0.91 OLED module

8 x copper screws( belongs to Pi supply & USB HUB)

--------------------------------

Step 2: Step2: How to Assemble It.

It's very easy to setup, just screw the copper screws to your Raspberry Pi with Pi Supply & USB HUB board, it's fit properly. and just plug 0.91'' OLED display module to the GPIO Pin on your Raspberry Pi as shown.

Step 3: Step 3: How to Light It Up.

First of all, you should turn on I2C function on your Pi by editing /boot/config.txt file, login to your Raspberry Pi and open a terminal and typing this command to configure your config.txt file:

sudo vim.tiny /boot/config.txt

Make sure you can find this parameter in this file and uncomment it( just remove the "#" mark in the beginning of the line:

dtparam=i2c_arm=on

And save it,(press ESC and type ":wq" to save it and quit.

Don't forget to reboot your Pi to enable the i2c function.

Login your Pi and open a terminal, typing this command to download library:

git clone -b ArduiPi_OLED https://github.com/yoyojacky/libssd1306

Compile it and run:

cd libssd1306/

sudo make

cd example/

sudo make

sudo ./oled_demo -o 2

If you need help, you can just use this command:

sudo ./oled_demo -h

And I change a little bit of the code:

sudo vim.tiny /home/pi/libssd1306/example/oled_demo.cpp

.......

// text display tests
display.setTextSize(1);

display.setTextColor(WHITE);

display.setCursor(0,0);

display.print("IP Address:\n");

display.setCursor(0,16);

display.print("192.168.3.143\n");

.......

save it and typing this command to compile it:

sudo make

Run it by this command:

sudo ./oled_demo -o 2

have fun and wish you have a fabulous day~~~
