Overview

The GUI that comes with the device is still a work in progress (please be patient as modules load—smashing buttons won’t help here XD). We’ve provided some simple ways to kickstart an “LLM-controlled task.” There are only a few buttons—you’ll figure them out.

Note: The E Ink display is not a touchscreen. Please navigate using the side buttons.

Please use the Pi charger that comes with the device. This is because the Raspberry Pi CM5 requires a specific combination of voltage and current for proper power supply.

Connect to Wi-Fi

​
Tutorial Video

The only way for Distiller to connect to Wi-Fi (so you can SSH into it) is via voice—yes, voice.

Once the device is powered on, go to the Wifi-use mcp server.

Be patient (treat it like a 5-year-old) and guide it step by step. You can start by saying:
“help me scan Wi-Fi first”

Once you see your desired network listed (should match your PC’s), tell it the name and password.

Once successfully connected (congrats, we know it’s hard), ask the device to show SSH instructions—it’ll guide you from there.

​
Suggested Coding Setup

Once you know the device’s IP address, we strongly recommend connecting it to Cursor to write your mcp_server script.

  1. Download Cursor on your PC.

  2. Select “Connect via SSH”.

  3. Enter the SSH IP provided by your device, for example:

  4. After entering the password and connecting, wait a few minutes while the Cursor server sets up.

  5. You’re ready to code! We recommend giving Cursor context via @llms.txt, which contains most of the necessary info. You’ll mostly be working inside /mcp_server.
