- Install Bitcoin Server (bitcoind) (see useful resources for helpful links)
- Install Ligthning Server (lnd)
- Have a running matrix creator or some other ROS Topic which you can trigger with a lightning payment as an example we used the MatrixCreator LEDS.
- Install the Eclair Testnet wallet on a Smartphone
- Fund and open a Lightning channel between your Smartphone and your Node or if your node is connected to others to the network in general
- Start the MatrixCreator
ssh into raspberry pi with the matrix creator
