So it's taken me an evening to follow Edgar''s excellent instructions. I know about the claims that high powered amps are 'necessary' to handle transients, but I have no more intention of playing anything at anywhere near concert halls sound pressures, so I know that the x400 will put out ample power for my purposes. I also bought the Suptronics X 400 board, but I haven't connected it yet. There is no hurry for that until I start pumping significant POWER through it and I haven't bothered with overclocking (yet). I will search around for some sort of a thermally conductive adhesive later this week.

The command line syntax is probably bewildering to anyone used to cmd.Ģ) Edgar did a GREAT JOB with the initial document, I should have made this comment #1.ģ) I am having a minor problem with the heat sink kit, basically the double sided adhesive tape just doesn't STICK to the chips and isn't strong enough to hold the heat sink and fans in any position other than on top. SOME Unix/Linux background is almost a requirement, so if you don't have ANY you should probably get some help. It still seems TINY compared to the 17.2 inch laptop that I am used to.ġ) There may be a tough learning curve for anyone who has a 'Windows Only' background. I bought a larger screen than Edgar suggested, ~11.2 inches. It won't connect to my wireless router (yet), so I have it connected with an Ethernet cable to do the update via apt-get, etc. I then extracted NOOBS directly to the SD card and of course it booted and I was able to install raspbian. On a Linux machine I reformatted it to fat32 using GParted - and by the way set the boot flag, (not sure that I needed to). In my rush I formatted it with windows and it took me a long time to recognize that although I could copy the software to it the raspberry pi wouldn't boot because of the windoze default to format it to ex-fat.

My progress on this project has been very, very slow - other priorities, etc.Īll the hardware arrived from Amazon yesterday and I realized that I didn't have a blank SD card, not wanting to overwrite any of the ones I have I rushed out to buy one.ĭue to the approaching black Friday sales retailers are discounting EVERYTHING quite heavily this week and in my GREED to get more for less I bought a 128 Gig card for a little over $30.
