Most of the steps for this were pretty nicely described in the link, yet for the super beginner (like me), I post further more detailed instruction here.

Link was for "Automatic water dispenser for Pets - by detecting the motion.

★ How to put 'empty ssh file into mini sd card - literally how? 

Here's the simple answer.

On windows, insert the card into whatever slot you are using (either something on the main system or in a USB slot). Figure out, using whatever tools you are comfortable with, what drive letter the SD card is (will usually be something like F:) Below, I will assume it is F:.

Press Windows Key and r at the same time. At the "Run" prompt, enter "cmd" (without the quotes) and hit enter.

At the C> prompt (or whatever it is), type "dir F:" and hit enter.

You will see a bunch of files.

At the C> prompt, type: "echo.>F:\ssh" and hit enter.

Now do whatever it takes to "safely remove" the SD card from the Windows machine.

Take the card and boot it on the Pi.

* Win+r > cmd > "dir D:" (without quotes) > "echo.>D:\ssh"
