      This is my very first project of this type, and I’m learning all this from scratch. I’m going through the Complete Setup Tutorial and I got to the section about screen rotation and what to add in, how do I save the changes I’ve made?

      Also, I don’t know how to change the settings. Time, weather, etc. Is there a first timers guide?

        Using nano to edit the config.txt you just exit nano (ctrl + x) it will then ask you if you want to save your changes, type Y and then enter, that’s it, you are back out to the terminal, reboot your pi and the screen is rotated.

        If your PI is connected to the net it should have set the time, date and timezone automatically.

        Each module has a readme-file, all settings are explained in those files.
