The Pi needs a [2.5 Amp power source](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/power/README.md). Most modern USB chargers you'll have laying around will work, but an older/cheaper one may not.
## Optional features
### rotate screen: portrait and landscape mode
- Hit CTRL-ALT-F1 then choose finish to go to console
- sudo nano /boot/config.txt
- move all the way down to the end of the file
- to rotate 90° clockwise, add the line: display_rotate=1
- Press ctrl + o to save and ctrl + x to exit the file
Now do a reboot (sudo reboot) and you should have a screen tilted:
- 0 = 0 degrees (the default value)
- 1 = 90 degrees
- 2 = 180 degrees
- 3 = 270 degrees
## Common issues
- **I get a kernel panic on boot, or the image keeps crashing.** The Raspberry Pi is somewhat picky about about its SD cards. It's also possible the SD card has a bad sector in a critical place, and `dd` wasn't be able to tell you. Double-check that you're using [a blessed SD card](http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards), and try flashing the image again.

If the display auto-detection fails and chooses a funky default resolution for you, [there's a few things you can do](https://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/raspberry-pi/28/raspi-display-setting.html) to try and fix that.
## Rotating your screen
Press `Ctrl + Alt + F3` to get to a virtual terminal, and use your favorite editor to open `/boot/config.txt` (remember to use `sudo`). Add a line to the end of the file:
- `display_rotate=0` to disable rotation
- `display_rotate=1` to rotate 90° clockwise
- `display_rotate=2` to rotate 180°
- `display_rotate=3` to rotate 90° counter-clockwise
Save the file, and `sudo reboot`.
## Replacing the boot graphics
The image that's displayed while the kiosk is starting can be changed by just replacing `~/background.png`.
