• Doing a PI 3b?

    From Jeff Smith@21:1/128 to All on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 16:07:00
    Hello There,

    I have decided to acquire a PI 3b and experiment with it as a project. I am thinking of either setting up Mystic on it or interfacing it with an Icom 706 mk-IIg radio I have sitting here. This is my first venture involving a PI. I decided to start out with a PI 3b, a 2.5A power supply, and a plastic case. I already have a 32G SD card and the necessary peripherals such as cables and input devices. I see this project that once setup is a setup and let it do it's thing project. If the first PI project is successful I could foresee additional PI projects.

    Anyone have any thoughts, comments, or suggestions?

    The SD card may be overly large but it's your call. I also have the same
    model sitting in a box after being given it for Christmas and have been so focused on other BBS stuff I have not spent time on setting it up etc.

    The plans you have for it mirror a chat Xqtr and I had in the general echo
    with another fsxNet node that has done some work in this space also.
    The hope is soon to have some documentation up on the fsxNet Wiki to help others understand how to hook Mystic + AX.25 together to offer a BBS
    TCP/IP experience over RF

    I'm certainly keen to keep up with your adventures and learn together along
    the way, as I suspect others will be too.

    Best, Paul
