I have used the following method to get OpenPlotter on a NOOBS 2.7.0 platform that will boot and work fine on a Pi 3B+
1. Download the latest version of NOOBS
On a linux machine (such a a Raspberry Pi) download NOOBS 2.7.0 using the following command:
sudo wget -O NOOBS_lite.zip https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS_lite_latest
I preferred to download this to a USB memory stick so I could use a Windows machine for the next few steps but there is no harm in doing it all on the linux box. Just my preference.
2. Download OpenPlotter RPI v0.10.0 NOOBS onto the (in my case) Windows machine and extract the contents to a folder
3. Extract the NOOBS download to another folder
4. Copy the OpenPlotter OS to the NOOBS image
Go to the folder /os/ in the OpenPlotter image you extracted in step 2, you will see a folder called OpenPlotter, copy this folder into the /os/ folder of the NOOBS image you extracted in step 3. Initially the /os/ folder is empty because we've used the "lite" (e.g. no operating system) version of NOOBS.
5. Create your bootable SD card.
Format a new SD card and copy the whole of the NOOBS folder in step 3 (as modified in step 4) to the new card. You're actually of course copying a bare NOOBS build plus the OpenPlotter operating system.
6. Put that card in a Raspberry Pi 3 (NOT the 3B+) and let the install process run, you will get a bootable OpenPlotter system on your Pi3 with the latest NOOBS however it will still probably not boot on a 3B+ (try it if you like). It's worth doing a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade at this point.
7. Enable the card to boot on a 3B+ by running:
sudo rpi-update. Yes I know some people don't recommend doing this but in this case it works fine.
8. Put the card in your 3B+ and it should boot, do the usual update/upgrade if you like.
Note that if your internal wifi doesn't work on the 3B+ let me know as you might need to run another command to fix that.
Good luck
