OK Guys; Sorry about the IP address change! - I was deliberately keeping the Pi 'dynamic' with the intent of imaging it when we are ready. Having said that, I have set a static IP address - node 29109 can now be accessed directly... I have limited cycles, so I'm not always monitoring. A couple of you were able to connect yesterday (before the darn IP changed!) - the lucky few were able to listen to my audio.... it is not perfect - especially the received audio (i.e., audio into the network). However, the intent of the demo yesterday was to demonstrate that this is an active project (not vapor-ware!)... we do have a Pi operational - with issues - it is as they say, "Work In Progress" Initially, the TX audio (i.e., audio out of the local transmitter) was also raspy - use of an externally powered USB hub cleared up the TX audio. Unfortunately, the hub had little to no affect on the RX audio. We (mostly Jim, and me to a lesser extent) are working on it.... but we are both busy - and 'tis the season to be busy! We are not ready to publish / post an image just yet.... some of you know me from my FREE STAR* project, nothing leaves my "lab" until I have fully tested and documented it. It's that simple; right now, we are in development and testing. We realize that there is huge interest in the Pi at the moment - I do support the Pi with an image, installation script and documentation for my FREE STAR* project (http://www.va3uv.com/iso.htm). When we are ready and feel that the product is ready for field testing, we will gladly make it available in a similar fashion. Cheers for now! Ramesh. www.freestar.us
