+## Setting up your Pi
+
+Before we can start using the ESCAPE board we need to enable the interfaces that the board uses on your Raspberry Pi.
+
+The ESCAPE board is controlled using the I2C interface. Any expansion boards attached to your ESCAPE board are controlled using the SPI interface.
+
+### Enable I2C and SPI in Pixel
+
+If you are using the graphical interface on your Raspberry Pi then click on your main menu icon, move down to *Preferences* and click on the *Raspberry Pi Configuration* menu item. Once open click on the *Interfaces* tab and you should see something like in the image below.
+
+![rasbpi config i2c](/images/raspberryi2c.png)
+
+Make sure that the line labelled I2C is set to enabled.
+
+If you have an expansion board then you'll need to enable the SPI interface as well on the line above, so click the *Enabled* setting next to the *SPI* label
+
+![rasbpi config spi](/images/raspberryspi.png)
+
+Once you click Ok you may be promtped to reboot your Raspberry Pi - go ahead and reboot.
+
+### Enable I2C and SPI on the command line
+
+If you are only using the command line on your Raspberry Pi then you will need to use the text version of the Raspberry Pi configuration tool to enable the interfaces.
+
+Type the following to bring up the configuration interface:
+
+``` bash
+$ sudo raspi-config
+```
+
+Once the menu is showing, scroll down to the *Advanced Options* menu and press Enter.

+
+Now we'll need to enable the I2C interface, so move down *I2C* menu and press Enter. You'll be asked if you want to enabled I2C - select *Yes* and you will see a confirmation and be returned to the main menu.
+
+![rasbpi config adv i2c](/images/i2c-450.PNG)
+
+Go to the *Advanced Options* again and do the same for *SPI*
+
+![rasbpi config adv spi](/images/spi-450.PNG)
+
+This time when you are returned to the main menu, move down to the *Finish* option (pressing the right arrow key twice will get you there) and press enter.
+
+You have now enabled the interfaces you need to use your board.
