Installations

1. OS install:

   • Raspberry Pi Zero WH - Pwnagotchi
     
   • Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH - Pi OS Lite 64-bit

2. Enable SPI & I2C:

   • Open a terminal on your Raspberry Pi.
   • Run sudo raspi-config.
   • Navigate to Interfacing Options -> SPI -> Enable.
   • Navigate to Interfacing Options -> I2C -> Enable.

3. Python libraries:

   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install python3-pip
   • sudo apt-get install python3-pil
   • sudo apt-get install python3-numpy
   • pip install gpiozero
   • pip install spidev
   • pip install smbus
   
   

Wiring and Setup

1. Connecting the OLED HAT to Raspberry Pi:

   • Use the 90-degree GPIO extenders to connect the OLED HAT to the Raspberry Pi. This helps maintain a low profile and compact setup, and also provides a better viewing angle for the display.
     

2. Powering the Pi:

   • If using a Pi Zero 2 W, connect the UPS Hat for continuous power supply. This will allow you to move the project anywhere without worrying about power interruptions.

Usage Instructions

1. Access Raspberry pi Zero 2 W:

   • Connect a monitor and keyboard to your Raspberry Pi and log in.
   • You can also access your Raspberry Pi remotely using SSH. Use the following command to connect:
   • ssh pi@<your_pi_ip_address>

2. Display Message:

   • Once logged in, navigate to the project directory and run the python script display.

     python3 password.py
     

     Note: password.py does not actually crack any passwords. It only shows random passwords from rockyou.txt or randomly generated characters.

Troubleshooting

1. Common Issues:
   • Ensure SPI & I2C are enabled in the Raspberry Pi configuration.
   • Check all connections if the screen does not display anything.
   • Verify all required packages are installed correctly.
