Where do I download the image file without noobs? Ya know, the pop this in and everything works headless operation? I do not currently own a keyboard and mouse and monitor to do the noobs install, and it seems silly to buy all those to install a system and just turn around and return them all to the store after installing.
BTW I am literally blown away by all the features packed in. I bought a raspberry pi with the intention of doing much of this on my boat. I was looking for an image with vnc pre-configured when I found this amazing project. I can't wait to use it.
You are right, the latest alpha of openplotter NOOBS is not working anymore for headless and you will need a monitor to have the system running first. But this will be solved soon. There will be a new OpenCPN release next week and we have plans to release a new openplotter NOOBS too. It will be still alpha (sorry, we are still rebuilding some important parts) but it will be real headless.
Until this happens, if you want you can play with the last working headless version http://www.sailoog.com/en/blog/download-...r-rpi-v080 it is not NOOBS but an image. You have to edit the file /boot/config.txt to configure the access point.
