Shari Pi4U Questions

Dennis All Messages By This Member #3830 Good Evening? ? I’m first would say I’m a newbie to Allstar and I’m looking for help with understanding a few items. 1) Am I correct the Shari Pi4U would plug into a USB port on my Raspberry Pi? 2) Once I have the image from the link Steve provided me, I would be able to access the Shari with my HT? 73’蝉 Dennis KD9ULM

Dennis All Messages By This Member #3832 That’s great news! I’m starting to understand this more. ? Do you have a recommended/preferred amount of memory (2gb,4gb or 8gb) my raspberry Pi should have for this to work correctly? ? -- Dennis - KD9ULM
Patrick Perdue All Messages By This Member #3833 开云体育 Honestly, don’t worry about memory unless you are running ASL3 and a bunch of other stuff on the same rPi along with your node. Even a 512MB rPi 3 model A Plus running HamVoIP has plenty of memory free if you are just using it as a single user radio node, and not doing anything extravagant. 8GB is definitely a waste in that context. If you use HamVoIP, that distribution is 32 bit, so half of that memory can’t even be addressed.

I use RPI2's, RPI3 A & B & B+'s? and a RPI ZERO W2? When attached to a? SHARI that is all that is needed.. ? Larry W8LM
Patrick Perdue All Messages By This Member #3837 开云体育 The op was speaking of RAM in this case, not storage. You can run HamVoIP on an 8GB card just fine. It will only use 4GB of that space no matter how large the card is, unless you manually expand the file system.
