Note:

1. It's normal for your system to restart once, when booted for the first time, in order to expand the filesystem automatically.
2. A microSD card with 64GB or greater capacity is recommended for running the latest bookworm version.

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+T, a new Terminal window appears.
2. At the command prompt, type mv ~/.config/autostart/1.desktop ~/ and press Enter

pi@Crowpi2-:~ $ mv ~/.config/autostart/1.desktop ~/

Note:

1. If you change your mind later, just move the file back into the ~/.config/autostart folder.
2. You can also launch the software manually from the Taskbar, click menu → Education → CrowPi2

Update: The file folder error has been corrected.

I purchased the CrowPi2 - All in One Raspberry Pi Laptop & STEM Learning Platform. I am receiving a system error that I am unable to resolve. The error is no signal. I have tried multiple times different suggestions I have read on forums etc. Please advise on next steps. Thanks for your time.

Solution:

1.Check whether the HDMI signal connection is correct and whether the cable and HDMI adapter board are damaged.

2.Check whether it is an SD card problem:

Replace an SD card or burn another system, such as the Raspberry Pi os or CrowPi2 os, and then see if it can start normally.

3. Check whether there is a problem with the Raspberry Pi:

Uninstall the screws, remove the Raspberry Pi, and connect to a screen instead of the CrowPi2 to see if it can boot normally.

I have added screenshots for reference. Thank you!

I was wondering if there’s an option to change the language for the Python and Scratch lessons on CrowPi2. Is there a specific location where I can modify the files myself to add or translate lessons into a different language? Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Materials used:

• XPower M5H 5000mAh MagSafe Portable Power Bank (Dimensions: 105 x 66 x 8 mm)
• MagSafe metallic ring with 3M adhesive backing
• USB Type C to MicroUSB charging cable

Installation:

1. Set the XPower M5H Power Bank on the table with the MagSafe charging surface facing up.
2. Magnetically align the MagSafe metallic ring onto the XPower MagSafe Power Bank with the 3M adhesive protective backing label facing up.
3. Remove the 3M adhesive protective backing.
4. Remove the Storage Tray from the CrowPi2.
5. Position the Power Bank, with the Magsafe metallic ring still attached, all the way toward the rear of the Storage Tray.
6. Firmly press down on the power bank for a few seconds to allow the MagSafe metallic ring to adhere to the Storage Tray.
7. Pull up on the Power Bank to remove it, you should see the MagSafe metallic ring remains attached on the Storage Tray by the adhesive.
8. Place the Power Bank back down over the MagSafe metallic ring and the Power Bank snaps into place magnetically.
9. Remove the Rubber Cap that covers the cable hole at front of the Storage Tray.

10. Route the USB Type C end of the charging cable through the cable hole and plug into the USB Type C port on the Power Bank.

    Note: The LED indicators on the Power Bank will turn on automatically, which is the auto power on feature of the XPower M5H Power Bank.

11. Slide the Storage Tray back into the CrowPi2.

12. Plug the MicroUSB end of the charge cable into the MicroUSB port located on the right rear of the CrowPi2.

Operations:

1. Slide open the Storage Tray to check whether the LED indicators on the Power Bank are lit. If not, press the Power button to turn it on.

2. Turn on the CrowPi2 by pressing the Power button located on the right rear.

   Caution: You should NEVER connect both the DC 12V and the USB power to the CrowPi2 at the same time.

Recharge the Power Bank:

Recharge the Power Bank is as simple as you would recharging a mobile phone. It must be recharged externally with a suitable USB charger depending on the Power Bank model, consult the operation guide that came with the power bank.

1. Slide open the Storage Tray.
2. Detach the Power Bank, it is held in place magnetically, from the Storage Tray.
3. Unplug the USB cable from the Power Bank.
4. Recharge the Power Bank with a suitable USB charger.
