How to set up the looper
- Copy the above image to an SD card following these directions
- If you want to use USB, change usb=0 to usb=1 in looperconfig.txt on the SD card (It is in the boot partition which can be read by Windows and Mac).
- If you want to disable the looping autostart to make copying files easier, change autostart=1 to autostart=0 in looperconfig.txt
- If you arent using a USB (NTFS) put your video files in the /home/pi/videos directory with SFTP or by turning autostart off. Otherwise, put your video files in a directory named videos on the root directory of your USB.
- Set your config options and plug it in!

This is perfect if you are working on a museum or school exhibit. Dont spend a lot of money and energy on a PC running windows and have problems like below (courtesy of the Atlanta Aquarium)!
