Re: Build-a-Pi image / vs pre-built pi


 

Terry, thank you for taking the time to a answer while doing the big move. ?Congrats to you , I hope Santa finds your new home and doesn't leave you new radio at the old one. I am actually on his video teaching me about Linux commands. (Very useful for a none tech guy). I really am enjoying this hobby and looking forward to diving into all kinds of directions. ( looking back at when I decided to get my license so I can be better prepared with communications and help my community and I thought I only needed a license and a radio). This might be worst then having a car collection. Haha.?

Again. Thanks for replying and I will look for you on the air. ?Good luck with the move.?

Gerry,

First let me say welcome to the hobby.? I am proud to see new people getting involved and if there is ever anything I can help you with, just ask!

So Build A Pi isn't like other ham radio "images" in that you don't simply download a preset series of applications inside an image that is then written to an SD card.? Rather it is a series of individual compile? / install scripts for a number of applications that Jason has written and made available for us to use.? Build a Pi installs allows you o choose which applications you desire to install and run and it doesn't install "extra" items that allows your processor to be utilized by anything except what you choose to install.

I have not run the new scripts yet as I am in the process of moving.? I did find my radios and my pi tonight while unpacking.? Hoping to put up antennas here real soon and get back on the air.? ?I run my entire shack using build a Pi.?

To get started Build a pi itself can be downloaded from git hub -?
Jason has a youtube channel with large amount if install and configuration tips -?


Again, welcom to both Build A Pi and Ham Radio,
Terry K4HNT

I am new to "Radpberry Pi" and ham radio.?

I order two CanaKit 4 -4GB. I was successful at downloading the pre built image and it works. Lol. Unfortunately I did not see Build-a-pi before and want to start over or overwrite. ?My question is: can I just overwrite the image using build-a-pi.?


love what you are doing for us. Thanks?
