[App_rpt-users] Need some Ground Up Information

[Marshall Oldham]

Jeffrey, 

 

Go here and download this image to your computer for the Pi.  

 

Make sure it is the file with the .img at the end. 

 

Also download the .readme file as that has the instructions and passwords needed to get started.

 

 <http://dvswitch.org/files/ASL_Images/Raspberry_Pi/Stretch/> http://dvswitch.org/files/ASL_Images/Raspberry_Pi/Stretch/

 

Then download Win32diskImager (free software) so you can write the image to a micro sd card. 

 

You can google how to write and image using Win32disImager if you have never done this before. 

 

Once your Pi boots up and you follow the .readme instructions there should be an ASL menu system that pops up on your screen.

 

The first choice is 

 

1) Run Firstime Menu 

 

You should start there to configure your node.

 

Before you install the software on your Pi you will want to have the following node number information. 

 

See this for where to find the information needed to setup you node.

Hello All,

 

I have one of Mark’s micro-node’s to connect to Allstar and have a node number through Allmon, (490470.)  Recently, I purchased a raspberry pi4 and want to create  another node, (490471,) to do simplex on 220 around our neck of the woods.  I have no real technical/programming prowess, (heck I am an old man that uses a MacBook!),  so I am looking for a step by step instruction manual on exactly what to do now.  I am able enough to snap together the Pi4, so I have that going for me, but the next step of imaging the software on a blank card, etc is the next step.  The first question I would have is…does the micro card need to have a program installed such as linux, etc, before doing anything else first?

 

Thanks in advance for all the help.  I recently became aware of the app_rpt versus HamVoip kerfuffle and wish to stick with the original for some  of the obvious reasons.  

 

I will be coming back over and over for some really simple questions that probably have obvious answers. Thanks for bearing with me.  

 

Regards,

Jeffrey N6TDG
