I did extract the zip file and loaded those files to SD but still nothing.
What folders on the Rpi would I check as I can't even find the files when searching *openplotter
I'm open to any links or videos someone has as I am missing something simple I think. Yes, I am low on the learning curve still.
Thanks in advance!
In the past there has been an noobs.img provided by the openplotter people with openplotter and all the requirements included (this is not yet available). Openplotter 2 is still in Alpha stage, this means it is only meant for those people with a better understanding of how Linux and RPi etc work. (I am not included in that but I still did it anyhow and so can you)
That being said its is not all that difficult but it does require a few more steps then what you are used to.
1. Follow these instructions and get Buster (the new OS for your RPi) installed
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
2. You will then boot up your newly loaded RPi and set up "Buster",
Once you have Buster set up and running with internet etc.. then
3. go ahead and reboot one more time just to be sure and when it is done booting, open a terminal window and execute these commands (you can cut and paste each line at a time and then hit enter
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-configparser python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-ujson whois
4. Then go to the openplotter repository https://github.com/openplotter/openplott...s/releases
using the browser on the RPi and download https://github.com/openplotter/openplott....0.11-beta
Or which ever is the latest version... once it is downloaded then simply double click the file and it will ask you if you would like to install this package..
The answer is yes..
5. once that has been installed you will find the <openplotter 2 setting tab> under the "other" tab of the Raspberry's main menu.
From there you will see a list of other packages you can install like pypilot and the moitessier hat settings/driver signal k etc... you have to install the ones you use... not like before where it was all installed in one go.
Hope that helps.
