How to make a raspberry pi temperature logger (step 1- setup the pi)

First you need a raspberry pi, prefereably with the starter kit including a SD card with raspian preloaded. All you need to do is to plug in a mouse and keyboard to the pi, connect wi pi (we had trouble with this and you'll need a usb hub) or insert an ethanet cable (this is so much easier) connect the pi to a screen (you'll need to buy a cable for this) and then plug the pi in to the mains.

You'll be confronted with a user name and password, these are given to you, the standard one is pi and raspberry respectively. Once these are entered you must enter the command startx.

You are now on the operating system of the pi.
