[PLUG-AV] Another experiment in updating our AV workflow

[Harry McNally]

Hi James and Nick

Just saw this, I spent the weekend dismantling the Pug for some major things. 
Some remantling still required!

I was going to install a RPi today so I will bring it along if it compiles; 
otherwise just the Opsis.

I'm happy to play it by ear if we get time. So I understand, what is the 
testing we can do with RPi and/or Opsis ?

Nick, I have only made the firmware at a "last used at a conference" version 
as per the forums. I haven't actually communicated yet. The serial comms 
puzzled me so if you have a HOWTO to just say hello to the board with a set of 
commands that is more than enough for the initial testing.

James, if I get the RPi set up, what might be a simple 5 minute configure and 
test we can do ? And do I need to bring some cables, monitor, etc ?  And, on 
the setup, given you installed Ubuntu Server to start, I've assumed I start 
with Raspbian Lite. Let me know if you want the full Raspbian for other reasons.

All the best
Harry
